In some organisms a transcript may belong to multiple genes.

Gene calling/defining transcripts - likely to be something needed for the community in the future when we have some experimental data to identify the actual start of the transcript

  • Something to consider for the future
  • The many to many problem will apply for both bacteria/phage and eukaryotes
  • The mRNA level feature in the GFF3 format is not really meaningful in these annotations; in our case the mRNA is just a copy of the gene. The boundaries of the “real” mRNA transcripts are unknown for the organisms we are annotating.
