Transcription Factor column

[james-cranley]

Description of feature

Hi, this is a really useful tool. A simple but useful addition would be to annotate whether a gene/transcript is a Transcription Factor or not.

At the moment I do this using the table (attached) from this paper . This is human specific. There are probably other dbs for other species, maybe ensembl?

Filtering the genes output using the description is not capturing this well. For instance,genes[genes.description.str.contains('transcription', na=False, case=False)] gives me 705 genes, whereas filtering the table I attached by Is TF? == 'Yes' gives me over 1600 genes.
