Good Afternoon Lee:

Is your GFF file actually linked items where multiple lines in the GFF file
have a common identifier to indicate the separate lines are part of the same
feature ?  Or is your GFF file merely a listing of separate items ?

If your GFF file is simply separate items, you can turn it into a bed file
by selecting out a couple of the columns.  For example:

$ awk '{print $1,$4,$5,$2,0,$7}' yourData.gff > yourData.bed

Assuming column 2 is a meaningful name.  If this is a large bed
file, use the bedToBigBed converter and use the resulting big bed
file at a URL for your custom track.
