Generic File Format - Definition and supported options

- Seq region - name of the sequence region. Any valid seq_region_name can be used.
- Start - start position of the feature in Ensembl coordinates
- End - end position of the feature in Ensembl coordinates
Optional field
- ID - the name or other identifier for this feature (string).
