[Biojava-l] Sequence start/end location

[Mark Schreiber]

Hi -

Unfortunately your FASTA file won't contain any feature information
which could tell you the start and end. If you don't want to get the
info from the PTT file you might want to look at parsing the Genbank
file instead which will have the feature information.

A PTT parser might not be a bad thing for BioJava though. If you write
one please consider adding it.
