How to convert gff to gtf? My annotation file is in .gff format. I would like to convert it to .gtf format or to know if there is a way to directly download the annotation file in .gtf format?

I am working on sequences from the P Falicparum 3D7.
You can use gffread to convert gff to gtf2, below is from the manual:


  In order to see the GTF2 version of the same transcripts, the -T
  option should be added:

gffread -E annotation.gff -T -o- | more

  
  The examples above also show that gffread can be used to convert a
  file between GTF2 and GFF3 file formats.
