Where I can get the gtf file of antheraea mylitta

Question

Dear all, Can you please tell me where I can get the gtf file of Antheraea mylita. If not available means how we can make reference index files

it seems the genome sequence is available from NCBI but indeed no annotations assigned to it (thus no GFF/GTF files are present).

It also seems it is still an unpublished genome version so likely the genome annotation still needs to be released with the (genome) paper.

so you either annotate the genome yourself (not so feasible if you have never do this before) or you wait until the annotations are released (you can perhaps can contact the authors to inquire what the status is)

Thank you for the response, there are many online tools are to convert gbk ->GFF ->GTF file format. First, I converted genbank file to gff format. https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/BioPerl/bin/bp_genbank2gff3 After I tried to convert to gff to gtf using following link https://www.reneshbedre.com/blog/gffgtf.html

I got error!!!! Comment on this!

yes, but there are no annotations available in the genbank (gbk) files so converting to GFF/GTF is somewhat pointless here. Only the sequence (and annotated) gaps are present in the genbank files so converting to GTF will result in empty files (GTF/GFF is for annotations only so if those are not available there it ends)
