I would like to know how to download GFF or GTF files of annotated full length viral genomes from NCBI?
I am not working on viral genomes but NCBI has an directory named "GFF" under genome/species name in their FTP site.
You can retrieve a .ptt file from NCBI and edit it with text editor in GFF/GTF format.
If you are studying HIV, go to
ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/Viruses/Human_immunodeficieny_virus_1_uid15476
and download NC_001802.ptt.
There is a specific UCSC genome browser available for microbes (http://microbes.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables?org=Sulfolobus+spindle-shaped+virus+4&db=sulfSpin_VIRUS_4&hgsid=1157632&hgta_doMainPage=1). In the above link, you can find the table browser for Viruses where you can download the GTF file or other formats.
