How To Convert Annotations In Embl Format To Gff Or Bed Format For Use In Igv?

Hi,

I have some annotations that I downloaded which are in EMBL format.

Right now I'd like to view it in IGV, and I read that I must get the annotations in GFF or BED format first.

I've tried converting EMBL to GenBank format, then to GFF, but IGV didn't show any annotations.

Does anybody have related previous experiences?

Thanks!

Make sure that it is in the GFF3 format, and that it also contains the header pragma:

##gff-version   3

Edit: you can also convert directly via: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/cgi-bin/readseq.cgi
