[maker-devel] mapping cDNA to updated genome

[Michael Campbell]

Hi Prashant,

I’m almost positive that the additional genes are coming from multiply aligning cDNAs. Did you repeat mask your genome before mapping things forward?

Another thought, what kind of whole genome duplications has your plant been through. it may be that the multiple alignments are to pseudogenes is some stage of decay. If that is the case it would probably be safe to keep the the gene from longest/best aligned cDNA.

Thanks,
Mike

There is a protocol about this in Campbell et al 2014, current protocols in bioinformatics (basic protocol 4 - Mapping annotations to a new assembly). I followed that protocol exactly with setting est_forward=1. But in output I’m getting large number of genes. My input cDNA fasta contains ~35K genes and after mapping there are ~58K genes.
