Thanks, Julian,

Artemis or ACT are able to ignore such mesges, but anmother probem is that
it show another rorr mesage
"
failed to open NC_002655.gbk: sequence file contains a character that is not
a letter: 1 at line: 123959
"
In this particular case,  after clicking "OK" I get
"
source can't have mol_type as a qualifier
gene can't have locus_tag as a qualifier
CDS can't have selenocysteine as a qualifier
"
That line,  most probably,  represnts the the first row whre the nucleotide
sequence starts.
It does this not only with this particular sequence but aso with others. I
have never had ths prblem with NCBI sequecnes dowloaded one or two years
ago - this is an observation only.

Thank you

Leka
