[maker-devel] I am a PhD candidate at NMSU and have a question about maker2

[Hua Zhong]

The long file we used is a whole genome. Quite huge a file. I am not able
to send that. Sorry. But in the simple test i told you, the nucleotide
sequence sent you is consider to be the genome file, and protein sequence
is another input. There two are what we want to blast against to each other
to see if Maker2 works well.
Thanks.
