What tools are available to validate a GFF3 format file? I tried the one recommended by the Sequence Ontology Project but it has been offline every time I try it. I also tried GenomeTools. It helps but it does not catch all of the errors.
You may want to state what your purpose is (or the problem you are having) because different tools have slightly different definitions of what "valid" means.
htseq has GFF_Reader method, which parse a GFF file.
