Hi Jose,

Are you using Bio.Sequencing.Ace in your code, or did you write a whole
new parser instead?

Now that I have been using Ace files in my own work, I've been meaning
to look over your stuff. In some ways, a contig class can be seen as a
generalisation of a multiple sequence alignment class. Certainly this is
something we should improve in Biopython (as you might gather from
some of the enhancement bugs on bugzilla, I have lots of ideas for the
current alignment class), and I'm sure you have some great ideas too.
