[maker-devel] understanding maker output

Hi Marion,

None of your evidence supported any of the SNAP models, so you got no results. You did have reference SNAP models in both fasta and GFF3 format (matych/match_part features), but those are just for reference.

You probably have issues with either your mrna.gff or prot.gff files.

You may want to familiarize yourself with how MAKER works and expected output using an online tutorial like the following —> http://weatherby.genetics.utah.edu/MAKER/wiki/index.php/MAKER_Tutorial_for_GMOD_Online_Training_2014 <http://weatherby.genetics.utah.edu/MAKER/wiki/index.php/MAKER_Tutorial_for_GMOD_Online_Training_2014>
