This script massages the SGD sequence annotation flat files located at
ftp://genome-ftp.stanford.edu/pub/yeast/data_dump/feature/chromosomal_features.tab
into a version of the GFF format suitable for display by the generic
genome browser.

To use this script, get the SGD chromosomal_features.tab file from the
FTP site listed above, and run the following command:

  % process_sgd.pl chromosomal_features.tab > yeast.gff

The yeast.gff file can then be loaded into a Bio::DB::GFF database
using the following command:

  % bulk_load_gff.pl -d <databasename> yeast.gff

genome browser.

To use this script, get the SGD chromosomal_features.tab file from the
FTP site listed above, and run the following command:

  % process_sgd.pl chromosomal_features.tab > yeast.gff

The yeast.gff file can then be loaded into a Bio::DB::GFF database
using the following command:
