The attribute tags (column 9) for each feature group are listed in parenthesis. Some attributes listed for a feature group may not be available for each feature within the group.

'''FEATURES'''

* The source field for coding gene features is "Coding_transcript". CDS, mRNA, exon and introns are available.

 CDS:Coding_transcript                              (ID,Note,brigpep,ortholog,predicted_once,supported_by_multiple_predictions,
                                                     supported_by_ortholog,supported_by_paralogs)
 mRNA:Coding_transcript                             (ID)
 exon:Coding_transcript                             (Parent)
 intron:Coding_transcript                           (Parent,cds)

* Retired genes: a CDS feature is included. The CDS features consist of multiple parts and are unified by a common ID atribute.

 CDS:history                                        (ID)

* Non-coding genes: ncRNA and exons are available.

 ncRNA:ncRNA                                        (ID)
 exon:ncRNA                                         (Parent)

* Alignment features: These features consist of multiple parts unified by a common ID attribute.

 nucleotide_match:BLAT_mRNA_OTHER                   (ID,Target)
 nucleotide_match:waba_coding                       (ID,Target)
 nucleotide_match:waba_strong                       (ID,Target)
