[maker-devel] Missing UTRs in GFF

[Benjamin Rubin]

I have annotated a eukaryotic genome with MAKER 2.30. I recently realized
that there are a few genes in the GFF file produced by gff3_merge with
inconsistencies in the annotated CDS and UTRs. For most of my genes, the
UTRs have their own lines in the GFF file. However, for the problematic
genes, the UTRs are not specified in the GFF file and all exons are
annotated as CDS. The UTRs do appear in the gene header and the protein
sequences are the correct length (do not include the UTR). I have attached
an example from the GFF file.

Is this a known problem, or have I done something wrong? Is there an easy
way to fix the GFF file?

Thanks for your help,
Ben
