FAIRsharing record for: Gene Transfer Format

This FAIRsharing record describes: The Gene transfer format (GTF) is a file format used to hold information about gene structure. It is a tab-delimited text format based on the general feature format (GFF), but contains some additional conventions specific to gene information. A significant feature of the GTF is that it is validatable: given a sequence and a GTF file, one can check that the format is correct. This significantly reduces problems with the interchange of data between groups.

本FAIRsharing条目描述如下：基因转移格式（Gene Transfer Format, GTF）是一种用于存储基因结构信息的文件格式。该格式属于基于通用特征格式（General Feature Format, GFF）的制表符分隔文本格式，同时增设了若干针对基因信息的专属约定。GTF的一项重要特性在于其具备可验证性：给定一段序列与一个GTF文件，即可校验该文件的格式是否合规。这大幅降低了不同研究团队间数据交换时出现的问题。
