[ensembl-dev] Getting GFF3 files from Ensembl MySQL database.

[Dan Staines]

Hi Paul,

Not sure how well this meets your needs but we (Ensembl Genomes) 
actually provide dumps of GFF3 files on our FTP site e.g.
ftp://ftp.ensemblgenomes.org/pub/current/metazoa/gff3/caenorhabditis_elegans/

You can also export data for regions of genome in a variety of formats 
including GFF3 using our REST server e.g.
http://beta.rest.ensemblgenomes.org/documentation/info/feature_region

Hope this helps!

Dan.
