[maker-devel] Maker: accessory scripts

I checked visually in IGV and there are some exons in the predicted model
with protein and EST support but the maker output GFF only has match_part
and protein_match in column 3. Does that mean Maker doesn't deem any of the
evidence sufficient to make a gene model prediction?

I guess I am somewhat surprised I am not getting any exons predicted by
Maker. Is there a parameter I can alter to reduce the threshold at which
Maker makes this call? I have attached the first 400 lines of one of my GFF
files together with the control file (maker_opts.ctl) just in case they
might be useful.
