Additional Exercises

If you have completed the tutorial for creating a new KEGG pathway source for MalariaMine you might want to try a couple of extra projects:

1. Add a Gene.description from malaria-gff

The GFF3 files we loaded in WorkshopGenomeData? had an additional description attribute for gene features.

• Create an additions file in bio/sources/malaria-gff to add a description attribute to Gene.
• Add code to MalariaGFF3RecordHandler.java to extract the description from the GFF3 attributes and set it for each Gene created. You will need to use methods of  GFF3Record to fetch the attribute value.
