The GFF format, although widely used, has fragmented into multiple incompatible dialects. When asked why they have modified the published Sanger specification, bioinformaticists frequently answer that the format was insufficient for their needs, and they needed to extend it. The proposed GFF3 format addresses the most common extensions to GFF, while preserving backward compatibility with previous formats. The new format:
