[maker-devel] Question about Maker output

[Madolyn Macdonald]

Hello,

My apologies if this has been described elsewhere, but I have not been able
to find the answer to this question.

After running fasta_merge on the Maker results, I get the fasta files which
include all the gene annotations from all the different contigs in the
assembly. In the transcript file, I get headers such as the two below:

maker-Contig206-snap-gene-3.11-mRNA-1

maker-Contig206-snap-gene-3.12-mRNA-1

I was wondering what the gene-X.XX portion of the header means, for
instance are 3.11 and 3.12 exons on the same gene or are they two
completely separate genes? If they are separate genes, what makes them
still be both "gene 3"?

Thanks in advance!
