  MaizeGDB_maize_pangene_2020_08.tsv.gz - pan-genes across all genome assemblies 
                                          hosted at MaizeGDB

Format:
  One gene set per line. Note that some gene sets have multiple gene models from 
  the same assembly.

Methods:
Gene model CDS transcripts for each genome were pairwise aligned to all other 
genomes using:
   blastn -perc_identity 95 -evalue 1e-10 -outfmt "6 std qlen slen qcovs". 

Syntenic orthologs of pairwise alignment outputs were found using DagChainer 
with parameters -D 1000000 -g 40000 -A 4.

All DagChainer pairwise syntenic ortholog outputs were then concatenated and 
run through the program MCL with the parameters -I 2.0 -te 20 --abc -o
