  Description     : GFF/GTF parsing from cufflinks as a library

This is a simple "libraryfication" of the GFF/GTF parsing code that is used in the Cufflinks codebase.  There are not many (any?) relatively lightweight GTF/GFF parsers exposing a C++ interface, and the goal of this library is to provide this functionality without the necessity of drawing in a heavy-weight dependency like SeqAn. 

This package is a dependency for salmon.

This package will be maintained as part of the Debian Med packaging team.
