[maker-devel] keep_preds parameter

[Daniel Ence]

Hi Dhivya, 

That's a correct understanding of keep_preds, and it is a binary parameter; you either tell MAKER to keep the unsupported predictions or not to keep the unsupported predictions. In the output, you can tell which genes are supported by the _AED attribute in the gff3 file. Genes with and AED equal to zero have no support from the evidence sets (protein and EST and alt_EST).

Along with some other changes, I set keep_preds=1 and saw a huge jump in the number of genes I was getting. Is setting this parameter to 1 equivalent to saying, include all predicted genes in my output, even if they are not supported by my set or protein data?  Is there a way to tell from my output which genes are unsupported and which are not?  Also, are the only two options for this parameter 0 and 1?
