If you provide two model_gff files (comma separated list), in which case MAKER thinks it is merging legacy annotations and will only keep one or the other if models overlap. </div><div>2. If you turn snap, augusutus, genemark, or est2genome on. MAKER sees this as a cue that if these other programs produce a better model, it can replace the current model. If you set map_forward=1, MAKER will conserve the name of the previous model (so models change structure but names are conserved); otherwise, it gets a new name. Sometimes groups like to rename models every time their is a structural change. I think you are supposed to get the Alias attribute set when you don't get names mapped forward though (I can't remember if I added this or just planned on adding the Alias mapping though).</div><div><br></div><div>MAKER should never drop a model_gff model.
