We are currently annotating Ibouu, which is in cluster F

I have a specific question about Feature 42 which is a reverse at bp position 31492bp-31434bp

This feature overlaps it's upstream feature 41 (which is a forward) by nearly half its bp. length at position 31218bp-31379bp, and feature 42 is not identified by GeneMark with little coding potential.

Features 41 (31218bp-31379bp) and 43 (31738bp-31544bp) which is also a Reverse have high coding potential per GenMark and we feel are real genes which we plan to leave included in the annotation.

I was hoping to get guidance on deleting Feature 42 - even though it would leave a gap between features 41 and 43, we feel that because it overlaps so much with the previous gene and it has weak coding potential and wasn't auto-annotated by GeneMark at all, it should be deleted from our annotation.

Please let me know what you think.
Thanks,
