Looks like I made the puzzle too difficult. It's been a month and still no reports of anyone having found all 10.
Which confirms: Enhancer discovery is hard!

Yes, absolutely! They are clearly not all artifacts. But some of them are and the problem is more pronounced in plants than in animals. Fortunately, the preprint also highlights how a unified re-annotation strategy can reduce these artifacts, making whatever PAV remains even more interesting!

Determining presence-absence variation (PAV) across reference genomes is a major goal of pangenome analysis. It turns out that A LOT of gene PAV is due to methodological artifacts.
We explore the causes of this in soybean and cotton datasets in our recent preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
