I used gffcompare recently to compare a newly assembled transcriptome and a published transcriptome. The class code p transcripts are "possible polymerase run on". What does that mean? I tried very hard but still cannot find the answer. Thanks!!

Hi Devon, Thanks so much for your help on the bioinformatics stackexchange site. Sorry, I posted on the stackexchange bioinformatics site and waited for a day. Is there a general rule? For example, how long should I wait before I cross-posted? Or I should delete one before I posted in another? Please enlighten me since I am fairly new to this business. I only did that because: besides my extensive googling, a similar question was asked in Biostar awhile ago and never answered so I was afraid this might be an undocumented term that not many people knows. Thanks again.
In general as long as you post a link to the other posts you're OK. I would suggest giving people one business day to reply. You posted on a Sunday or Saturday, so it's unreasonable to expect anyone to read it until Monday.
I will certainly add a link and wait for at least one business day next time. Thanks so much for your help, Devon!
