[maker-devel] errors in final gff

[Anurag Priyam]

Hi,

I compiled all annotations generated by MAKER into a single GFF file
using the gff3_merge script distributed with MAKER. While formatting
this GFF for use with JBrowse, I found a few errors:

1. Three instances where two features were assigned the same id.
2. One instance where a group of three subfeatures refer to a
non-existent parent.

Here is the relevant portion of the GFF file:

I worked around the issue temporarily for the job at hand, but I am
left wondering why would these errors creep in.
