+A collection of tools for converting genome annotation between GTF (Gene Transfer Format), 
+BED (Browser Extensible Data) and GFF (Generic Feature Format).
+
+INTRODUCTION
+
+Several genome annotation centers provide their data in GTF, BED, GFF3 etc. I have few programs 
+they mainly deals with converting between GTF, BED and GFF3 formats. They are extensively tested 
+with files from different centers like ENSEMBL, UCSC, JGI and NCBI AceView. Please follow the 
+instructions below to clone these tools into your galaxy instance.
+
+CONTENTS
+
+Tool configuration files in *.xml format. 
+
+    gtf_to_gff.xml
+    gff_to_gtf.xml
+    bed_to_gff.xml
+    gff_to_bed.xml
+    gbk_to_gff.xml
+
+Python based scripts. 
+
+    gtf_to_gff.py: convert data from GTF to valid GFF3.
+    gff_to_gtf.py: convert data from GFF3 to GTF.
+    bed_to_gff.py: convert data from a 12 column UCSC wiggle BED format to GFF3.
+    gff_to_bed.py: convert gene transcript annotation from GFF3 to UCSC wiggle 12 column BED format.
+    gbk_to_gff.py: convert data from genbank format to GFF. 
+    GFFParser.py: Parse GFF/GTF files.  
+    helper.py: Utility functions.
+
+test-data: Test data set. (move to your galaxy_root_folder/test-data/)
+    
+    You may need to move the test files into your test-data directory so galaxy can find them. 
+    If you want to run the functional tests eg as: 
+
+    exmaple: 
+    sh run_functional_tests.sh -id fml_gtf2gff
+
+REQUIREMENTS
