Gene split models for 78 plant reference genomes based on the latest SorghumBase release 11 (SorghumBase11Ensembl108) are given.

The split gene models are commonly related to annotation artifacts where either a single gene is annotated as two or more genes due to incomplete evidence or the corresponding orthologous genes are fused, but split genes could also result from legitimate evolutionary processes. The Compara Gene Tree method predicts a special class of within-species paralogs called contiguous gene split.

A contiguous gene split is called when the two apparently paralogous genes lie on the same strand and in close proximity (<1MB) but have no (or little) overlapping sequence.

Here is brief statistics of contiguous gene split models for each species.
