[Bioperl-l] 85% ATGCN

[Roy Chaudhuri]

Hi Veronica,

Fairly obviously this is a bug, since your sequence is 100% ACTGN. It 
looks like it has already been fixed by Chris Fields in a commit on May 
20th:
http://github.com/bioperl/bioperl-live/commit/7ea9c9d4a062d555efc51b98289a862395ec0664

So if you install bioperl-live from GitHub 
(http://github.com/bioperl/bioperl-live/tarball/master) it should fix 
your problem. Or you could just correct the offending tr statement in 
your installed Bio/Perl.pm file in the same way as the above commit.

Cheers.
Roy.
