[ensembl-dev] Annotating variants against custom transcripts

Hi,
I would like to annotate my VCF file against a custom transcript database.
I've created both a GFF v3 file and a GTF file (see below) and I have been
unsuccessful in getting VEP to annotate against these transcripts. The
examples below are before using sort + bgzip + tabix (so that is not the
problem).

I'm currently running VEP v85.

The command I used was:
variant_effect_predictor.pl -i IN.vcf --custom test.gff.gz,,gff -fasta
test.fa --cache -o OUT -dir /path/to/cache --hgvs --cache_version 75
--offline --force_overwrite

In the outputted file I only see ENSTs and can't find the transcripts I
inputted along with them.  The same thing occurs if I run --custom
test.gtf.gz,,gtf.  If I change the command to --custom
test.gtf.gz,,gtf,overlap it will tell me if it overlaps the inputted
transcript but it doesn't annotate against the transcript.


Is there a problem with the command options I am using? Is there a problem
with the inputted files?  How do I get VEP to annotate the variant against
my custom transcript (i.e. 412662  2:73613056      A       GENE1
 TRANSCRIPT1 Transcript      synonymous_variant ....)?
