[Biojava-l] losing meta-info after multiple sequence alignment

[Hannes Brandstätter-Müller]

Hi again!

So, my MSA is now working, thanks for the help so far.

What I ran into now is that most of the meta-information of a Sequence
seems to get lost during the MSA step.

e.g.:
I'd like to attach the string from the fasta file (description,
header, whatever it is called) to the sequence and keep it attached
for further use after the MSA step.

1) shouldn't the fasta reader automatically populate this info? which
is the correct field (OriginalHeader or Description or something
else)?
2) the MSA step seems to throw away all meta info. I attached the
string as OriginalHeader before starting the MSA, and afterwards it is
"null"

Thanks,
Hannes
