<div> I have a quick question about Maker and I'd appreciate if you could answer that to me. I downloaded two protein sequences predicted by Maker with the following indentifiers:</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;" class="yiv1807820966MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">>maker_scaffold_7-snap-gene-1.23-mRNA-1 Glucosylceramidase</font></font></div>
<font face="Calibri">
<div style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;" class="yiv1807820966MsoNormal"><font size="3">>maker_scaffold_7-snap-gene-1.24-mRNA-1 Glucosylceramidase
</font></div>
</font>
<div> </div>
<div>The only thing that varies in the two sequences identifiers are the number 1.23 and 1.24, and I was wondering what this numbers mean. Their sequence are also really similar (96%).</div>
<div> </div>
<div><font size="2" face="Tahoma">I wonder if these sequences represent <u>two</u> genes in the same scaffold (<font size="3" face="Calibri">scaffold_7</font>) or if they are two slightly different predictions of the
<u>same</u> gene.</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div>So my question is what do those numbers (1.23 and 1.24) represent in Maker?</div>
