Input File Format #85

Description

@bioyoshoo

README mentions about input data format like this

The xyz.bed file holds gene positions, following a tab-delimited format:

chr# starting_position ending_position gene

However, from the source code for the reading input files
https://github.com/wyp1125/MCScanX/blob/master/read_data.cc#L157-L179 (Commit 8028209)

the input file format for MCScanX should be in ".gff", not ".bed".

Moreover the proper input "gff" format is supposed be like this

chr# gene starting_position ending_position

In the MCScanX protocol paper published in Nature Protocols (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41596-024-00968-2), the input format is provided like this:
MCScanX_protocal/intermediateData/aa.gff

aa1	CAE5956209.1	 24773	28443
aa1	CAE5956210.1	 29472	32082
aa1	CAE5956212.1	 32742	33604

So, the documentation of current version (Commit 8028209) should be updated??

I found these after I encountered the same error as #12
I hope this will be helful for those who get "0 matches imported" error.
