There's an error in the AlphabetManager.xml file which will causes the 
parsing of Genbank DNA containing the ambiguity symbol "m" to fail.

The cause is the ambiguity symbol "k" which is mis-identified. It should 
read as follows and not as "cytosine adenine".

      <ambiguityMapping char="k">
        <symbolref name="guanine" />
        <symbolref name="thymine" />
      </ambiguityMapping>

Cheers,
Simon Foote
