[maker-devel] Maker v3.01 change-log + 3'UTR question

[Luca Peruzza]

Hi There,
I have two questions and I hope you guys can help me with them:

1. I have seen that maker version 3.01 is now out. Is there a change log available to see the changes in comparison to the previous maker version and have a glimpse of the new features of this release? 

2. If I was to improve the annotation of my 3’ UTRs within a certain (non-model species) gff3, is there a particular way or a protocol to follow? I was thinking for example that Lexogen has released their 3’ UTR kit for RNA-seq of the three prime end of transcripts. Would it be possible to feed those reads to maker and somehow suggest that the reads are originating from the three-prime end so that this info is then passed in the gff3 file?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help 
Best
Luca
