gffread: warnings when converting to GTF
Hello,
I have a GFF file that I am trying to convert to GTF with gffread using the following code:
gffread -E file.gff -T -o- > file.gtf
While I do get a gtf file as an output, there two error messages that come up many times:
"Warning: exon feature found before transcript ID (Transcript ID)"
"Warning: adjusted transcript (Transcript ID) boundaries according to terminal exons."
Has anyone gotten these warnings before, or know how to fix them? Thank you!

To be sure that the
exon feature found before transcript IDis not lost you can check with anawkcommand or withagat_sq_stat_basic.plfrom AGAT if all the exons from the GFF file are still present in the GTF file.Thanks! I ended up using AGAT since some of the features weren't conserved with gffread, as well. AGAT worked great!
