Can metaeuk enforce splice site checking? #83

Description

@melop

Thank you for developing metaeuk! We are trying to supplement trinity assemblies with metaeuk-predicted "transcripts" for annotating a fish genome.
During the PASA step, we saw that among the ~64000 metaeuk-predicted transcripts, 23800 failed splice-site checks and were discarded by PASA.
I'm wondering if metaeuk checks for splice donor and acceptor sites when scanning for potential exons? Would adding that functionality improve accuracy somehow?

Here are some examples:

    We don't do any splice site checking. Metaeuk predictions are meant as a first rough draft.

    However, there is a community contributed tool that combines metaeuk with spaln that might do something like you want:
