[Biojava-l] Impossible to catch Location parsing Error

[Matthew Pocock]

Hi Hiroyuki,

The genbank parser was not designed with DDBJ in mind, so I am not
supprised that it fails. I am suprised that you have feataures with
backwards coordinates - I thought that genbank, embl and DDBJ had agreed
to use the exact same feature table format, but I may be wrong here. Do
you have the accession number for an entry that fails?

The short answer is to grab the corresponding embl or genbank entry. The
better solution is to double-check that you have a legal entry, and if
you do, we can make a copy of the genbank parser called DDBJFormat and
add in the extra code necisary to handle your backwards features.

Best,

Matthew
