Hi, I tried to lift the below TAIR10 annotation with flo:

> head TAIR10_GFF3_genes.gff
Chr1    TAIR10  chromosome  1   30427671    .   .   .   ID=Chr1;Name=Chr1
Chr1    TAIR10  gene    3631    5899    .   +   .   ID=AT1G01010;Note=protein_coding_gene;Name=AT1G01010
Chr1    TAIR10  mRNA    3631    5899    .   +   .   ID=AT1G01010.1;Parent=AT1G01010;Name=AT1G01010.1;Index=1
Chr1    TAIR10  protein 3760    5630    .   +   .   ID=AT1G01010.1-Protein;Name=AT1G01010.1;Derives_from=AT1G01010.1
Chr1    TAIR10  exon    3631    3913    .   +   .   Parent=AT1G01010.1
Chr1    TAIR10  five_prime_UTR  3631    3759    .   +   .   Parent=AT1G01010.1
Chr1    TAIR10  CDS 3760    3913    .   +   0   Parent=AT1G01010.1,AT1G01010.1-Protein;
Chr1    TAIR10  exon    3996    4276    .   +   .   Parent=AT1G01010.1
Chr1    TAIR10  CDS 3996    4276    .   +   2   Parent=AT1G01010.1,AT1G01010.1-Protein;
Chr1    TAIR10  exon    4486    4605    .   +   .   Parent=AT1G01010.1

Next, I did 

> gff_remove_feats.rb chromosome TAIR10_GFF3_genes.gff > TAIR10_GFF3_genes-fix1.gff |head
Chr1    TAIR10  gene    3631    5899    .   +   .   ID=AT1G01010;Note=protein_coding_gene;Name=AT1G01010

Chr1    TAIR10  exon    3631    3913    .   +   .   Parent=AT1G01010.1
Chr1    TAIR10  five_prime_UTR  3631    3759    .   +   .   Parent=AT1G01010.1

Chr1    TAIR10  exon    4486    4605    .   +   .   Parent=AT1G01010.1
Chr1    TAIR10  CDS 4486    4605    .   +   0   Parent=AT1G01010.1,AT1G01010.1-Protein;

While running flo I got:

One error is that TAIR10_GFF3_genes.gff does not seem to be a valid GFF3 file as it is missing the header, see https://github.com/The-Sequence-Ontology/Specifications/blob/master/gff3.md . Not sure what to say about the error gt gff3: error: Parent "AT1G64130.1-Protein" on line 3 in file "-" was not defined (via "ID="). Where did TAIR10_GFF3_genes.gff come from?

The header missing is not an error here, it's just a warning, the tool add one automatically when it is missing.

I may have a solution - I've had a similar error recently with an annotation that had many non-gene entries, i.e., snoRNAs, rRNAs, tRNAs etc. and those kept on causing problems in flo. After removing them all with this simple Python 3 script it worked fine (YMMV)

bad_ones = set(['nCRNA','snoRNA','snRNA','pre_miRNA','lnc_RNA','tRNA','rRNA','RNase_MRP','SRP_RNA', 'RNase_MRP_RNA','ncRNA_gene'])

bad_ids = set()
for line in open('Transcripts.gff'):
    if line.startswith('#'):
        print(line, end='')
        continue
    ll = line.split()
    thistype = ll[2]
    names = ll[-1].split(';')
    if thistype in bad_ones:
        badid = names[0].replace('ID=','').split(':')[-1]
        bad_ids.add(badid)
        continue
    if 'Parent=' in names[0]:
        thisparent = names[0].replace('Parent=','').split(':')[-1]
        if thisparent in bad_ids:
            continue
    print(line, end='')

Thank you but now I got this error gt gff3: error: Parent "AT1G64130.1-Protein" on line 3 in file "-" was not defined (via "ID="). I updated my question above. How to fix it?

The TAIR annotation has the unusual feature that it has "gene" lines with a "Parent" being a protein which is not defined in the file. I recommend filtering Parent= attributes from column 9 for the "gene" lines

How is it possible to filter it?

The error seems coming from the feature protein because it does not contain any Parent attribute. Indeed it contains instead the attribute Derives_from that the tool cannot deals with. I guess you don't need these feature anyway, because uou can retrieve your proteins from CDS. Just remove those features and I guess you will not have anymore the error:

awk '{if($3 != "Protein") print $0}' file.gff > file_clean.gff

Thank you. However, I still got gt gff3: error: Parent "AT1G64130.1-Protein" on line 3 in file "-". Next, I didawk '{if($3 != "CDS") print $0}' file_clean.gff > file_clean2.gffwas not defined (via "ID="). Unfortunately, I got this error:

gt gff3: error: line 1 in file "run/TAIR10_GFF3_genes-fix1.rm_rubbish_rm_protein_rm_CDS/input.gff" does not begin with "##gff-version" or "##gff-version"

Wihtout the CDS I'm not sure your liftover will succeed. Anyway, the problem after having removed the Protein feature is that the CDS contain in the Parent attribute the link to the ID of the removed Protein feature. So you should fine a way to remove those with e.g a sed command:

From:

 NbV1Ch17    TAIR10  CDS 18625243    18625301    .   -   0   Parent=AT2G07768.1,AT2G07768.1-Protein

you need to have:

NbV1Ch17    TAIR10  CDS 18625243    18625301    .   -   0   Parent=AT2G07768.1

I used the following additionally steps: 

> sed 's|,AT.*-Protein;||g' TAIR10_GFF3_genes-fix1.rm_rubbish_rm_protein.gff > TAIR10_GFF3_genes-fix1.rm_rubbish_rm_protein_rm_id.gff
> echo "##gff-version 3" > TAIR10_GFF3_genes-fix1.rm_rubbish_rm_protein_rm_id_rm_index.gff
> sed 's|;Index=1||g' TAIR10_GFF3_genes-fix1.rm_rubbish_rm_protein_rm_id.gff >> TAIR10_GFF3_genes-fix1.rm_rubbish_rm_protein_rm_id_rm_index.gff
> awk '{if($1 != "ChrC" && $1 != "ChrM") print $0}' TAIR10_GFF3_genes-fix1.rm_rubbish_rm_protein_rm_id_rm_index.gff > TAIR10_GFF3_genes-fix1.rm_rubbish_rm_protein_rm_id_rm_index_rm_ChrC_rm_ChrM.gff

You should maybe consider another approach. Have a look here enter link description here table 5.
