Thanks for developing such a useful piece of software!

I bumped into an issue when using GFF3 files in Polyester. In GFF3, attributes are separated by and equals signs ("=") rather than spaces (" "), so the program was throwing errors when it reached line 27 in getAttributeField.R:
a = strsplit(atts, split = " ", fixed = TRUE)
I just did a quick substitution in my GFF to get around it and it worked fine, but it would be good to have an argument to specify this. E.g.

a = strsplit(atts, split = attr_field_separator, fixed = TRUE)
and have attr_field_separator inherited from the top level function simulate_experiment.

I would submit a pull request, but I'm heading off on parental leave today so won't have the time for a 7 weeks.
