[Bioperl-l] Extract features from GFF

[Barry Moore]

Hang-

Something like this would work, although for simply querying the  
coordinates on GFF like that you could iterate over the file with  
your own while loop, split the columns and do the same thing with  
about as many lines.  You'll need to do each chromosome as a separate  
GFF file or add some code to the loop to check the chromosome  
($feature->seq_id I think).

     use Bio::Tools::GFF;

     my $coord_start = 12345;
     my $coord_end  = 67890;

     # specify input via -fh or -file
     my $gffio = Bio::Tools::GFF->new(-fh => \*STDIN, -gff_version =>  
2);
     my $feature;
     # loop over the input stream
     while($feature = $gffio->next_feature()) {
	 if ($coord_start <= $feature->start && $coord_end >= $feature->end) {
	 	print $feature->gff_string;
	}
     }
     $gffio->close();
