Question about VFDB

[Christian Hodar]

Hi all,

I'm working with NGLess to annotate a couple of marine metagenomes samples. 

I was successful in obtaining Kegg and eggNOG annotations but I also note that annotation map has information from Virulence Factor Database, in three categories: VFID (i.e.VFIDxxxxx), VF gene ( i.e.VFGENExxxxx ) and VF function (i.e.VFFUNxxxxx), which I already know are MOCAT identifiers.

Luis kindly sent me a file containing the conversions from the nomenclature used in the NGLess's map file to the VFDB nomenclature. However, doubts remain regarding the VFID ids. According to the sent file, these are converted to an identifier of type VFGxxxx but those available on the VFDB website are of type VFGxxxxxx (at least in the available Ids for genes in SetA or SetB).

Any help will be appreciated.

Christian.
