[maker-devel] split genes

Hello:

If one gene was covered by two contigs, sometimes we may predicted two
genes. I wonder how Maker deal with such conditions?
Even Maker tried to reduce such cases, they can not be completely avoid. So
I wonder whether there is any way or any tool to find such split genes (one
gene split into two contigs and predicted as two genes)?

As we know, we can also provide protein sequences and transcript assembly
as evidences. Can a protein sequence or transcript assembly rescue the
split genes in Maker pipe line? For example, if one transcript cover 40% of
predicted genes predicted in two contigs, then merge the predicted genes
into one?

Thanks

Best
