Ok, I think I have found out why, by checking the write_seq against the
next_seq and looking at the offsets and lengths.
It turns out that when synthesizing traces, the peak_indexes array gets
exactly twice the length of what it should.
This seems to be because Bio::SeqIO::scf::new() calls
_synthesize_traces() itself on the Bio::Seq::SequenceTrace it created,
but Bio::Seq::SequenceTrace::new does so as well, when no traces are
supplied. So peak_indices ends up being twice as long and the data
written after peak_indices in the .scf file is mixed up when read back.
I have filed bugzilla bug #2881 with a patch attacted that simply
removes the call to _synthesize_traces() (and set_accuracies(); same
deal) from Bio::SeqIO::scf::write_seq(), which fixes the problem.
Best regards,
Adam
