Hi, Everybody,

I am trying to add an annotation column to my vcf file, after calling variants 
with the Samtools 1.x pipeline. I am using bcftools annotate, but I keep 
getting the same error regarding one of the headers:

Could not parse the header line: 
"##FEATURE=<web_id=STRING_TAG,Number=1,Type=STRING,Description="PF3D7_0100100">"
Could not parse bcftools_annots.hdr: 
##FEATURE=<web_id=STRING_TAG,Number=1,Type=STRING,Description="PF3D7_0100100">


I am not sure what is wrong with that line; this is the content of the file I 
am calling with the -h parameter:


##FEATURE=<ID=STRING_TAG,Number=1,Type=STRING,Description="PF3D7_0100100">
##FEATURE=<Name=STRING_TAG,Number=1,Type=STRING,Description="PF3D7_0100100">
##FEATURE=<description=STRING_TAG,Number=1,Type=STRING,Description="erythrocyte+membrane+protein+1%2C+PfEMP1+%28VAR%29">
##FEATURE=<size=NUMERIC_TAG,Number=2,Type=Integer,Description="7617">
##FEATURE=<web_id=STRING_TAG,Number=1,Type=STRING,Description="PF3D7_0100100">
##FEATURE=<locus_tag=STRING_TAG,Number=1,Type=STRING,Description="PF3D7_0100100">
##FEATURE=<Alias=STRING_TAG,Number=1,Type=STRING,Description="VAR-UPSB1,124505645">


and this is an example of the 'FEATURE' field in my annotation tab-delimited 
file:


ID=PF3D7_0100100;Name=PF3D7_0100100;description=erythrocyte+membrane+protein+1%2C+PfEMP1+%28VAR%29;size=7617;web_id=PF3D7_0100100;locus_tag=PF3D7_0100100;size=7617;Alias=VAR-UPSB1,124505645,MAL1P4.01,VAR,PF3D7_0100100,7670005,PFA0005w


Have you got any idea on what I am doing wrong?


Thanks for your kind attention,
