Parse GTF File into Tidy Data Frame

Parses a GTF (Gene Transfer Format) file and converts it into a tidy data frame with key-value attributes properly separated into columns.

Usage

parse_gtf(gtf_file = NULL, fil_label = "gene")

Arguments

gtf_file

Character, path to the GTF file

fil_label

Character, feature type to filter (e.g., "gene", "exon") (default: "gene")

Value

A data frame with GTF columns (seqname, source, feature, start, end, score, strand, frame) plus additional columns for each attribute

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Parse a GTF file and keep only gene features
gtf_data <- parse_gtf(
  gtf_file = "path/to/annotation.gtf",
  fil_label = "gene"
)

# View the parsed data
head(gtf_data)
} # }
