[maker-devel] Question about MAKER chunks and "neighbouring" annotations

[Philipp Bayer]

Hello,

I have a minor question about the way MAKER joins annotations from
different chunks when using MPI.

Let's say I have a longer gene that bridges two chunks, so the jobs
annotating both chunks separately would return two incomplete genes, one
without a stop codon, one without a start codon. I assume MAKER would
then join those two into a single gene, right? Is this behaviour
influenced by the "split_hit" or "pred_flank" parameters in maker_opts.ctl?

Thank you
