Dear Authors,

While browsing through the Pangenome files, we noticed a strange pattern: For some contigs, we see genes that have the same start-end position but different Uniref90 IDs annotated (in a single contig).

Here, we attach some examples:

From `Mycolicibacterium_obuense`.

We are suspecting that this is due to the fact that the annotations are constantly updated, however are still not sure if this behaviour was wanted.

Best,
