Description

Converting genomic annotations in GFF format to PostScript. It scales up from a single gene sequence to mĂșltiple sequences, it can also handle mĂșltiple annotation sources. It was used to produce whole genome maps for different species: Drosophila melanogaster Adams et al. Science 287(5461):2185-2195, 2000, human Venter et al. Science 291(5507):1304-1351, 2001, malaria mosquito Holt et al. Science 298(5591):129-149, 2002, and more recently the map of the diploid genome of a single human individual Levy et al. PLoS Biol 5(10):e254, 2007.
