how can I convert the gff3 file into EMBL format??

Hi! A sequence alignment software I use requires me to hand in the gene annotation file in EMBL format, but I only have the file in gff3 format. Do anyone know how can I convert the file in gff3 format into EMBL format??? really need some help...

you might give this one a try: EMBLmyGFF3

Yes you can definitely create EMBL-like file with EMBLmyGFF3. I say EMBL-like because your file will not contain some information that are uniquely provided by the ENA database when you perform a submission (i-e: locus_tag, project number, sequence identifier). I guess those information are useless for your purpose, so by providing fake information (or leting by default those that can be) to EMBLmyGFF3 you should succeed to do the job.
