Create a GFF3 file data source.

Parameters:

  • source (str, pathlib.Path, or Callable) – The URI or path to the GFF file, or a callable that opens the file as a file-like object.

  • compression (Literal["infer", "bgzf", "gzip", None], default: "infer") – Compression of the source bytestream. If “infer” and source is a URI or path, the file’s compression is guessed based on the extension, where “.gz” or “.bgz” is interpreted as BGZF. Pass “gzip” to decode regular GZIP. If None, the source bytestream is assumed to be uncompressed. For more customized decoding, provide a callable source instead.

  • fields (list[str], optional) – Specific fixed fields to project. By default, all fixed fields are included.

  • attribute_defs (list[tuple[str, str]], optional [default: None]) – Definitions for variable attribute fields to project. These will be nested in an “attributes” column. If None, attribute definitions are discovered by scanning records in the file, which is controlled by the attribute_scan_rows parameter. To omit attributes entirely, set attribute_defs=[].

  • attribute_scan_rows (int, optional [default: 1024]) – Number of rows to scan for attribute definitions.

  • regions (str | list[str], optional) – One or more genomic regions to query. Only applicable if an associated index file is available.

  • index (str, pathlib.Path, or Callable, optional) – An optional index file associated with the GTF file. If source is a URI or path, is BGZF-compressed, and the index file shares the same name with a “.tbi” or “.csi” extension, the index file is automatically detected.

  • batch_size (int, optional [default: 131072]) – The number of records to read in each batch.

Returns:

A data source object representing the GFF file.

Return type:

GffFile
