[maker-devel] est_forward and conflicting names

[Shaun Jackman]

Hi, Carson.

I’ve downloaded a number genes from GenBank using Entrez Direct, which I’m using with est and protein to annotate a plant mitochondrion. Most of these reference sequences have sensible and consistent gene names, and so I’m using est_forward to retain the gene names. This workflow is working well for me. Some of the genes pulled in from GenBank have less useful names like orf1234 or other numeric IDs. When multiple evidence sequences map to the same location, how does est_forward choose which name to use? If it’s chosen arbitrarily, could it be possible to choose the most common name instead?

Thanks,
Shaun
