Hi,

I am a great fan of Artemis, having used it since I started working in a lab in May. I think I may have discovered a bug though (in version 9) -

Artemis is not properly loading some mRNA transcripts in GenBank format from Entrez Gene such as the one at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/viewer.fcgi?val=NM_001353.5

The "opened" sequence begins 'nrnmarynnnnnrnnsnnnsnannnnnnnnnnnrnmaryn'.

After removing the following section from the GenBank entry, the file opens properly:

PRIMARY     REFSEQ_SPAN         PRIMARY_IDENTIFIER PRIMARY_SPAN        COMP
            1-623               BC040210.1         660-1282
            624-628             CB119749.1         440-444
            629-1179            BC040210.1         1288-1838
            1180-1384           M86609.1           1003-1207

There is something about this first line which makes Artemis to try to treat it as bases - I noticed the following correspondence between the section I removed and the gobbledegook:

PRIMARY     REFSEQ_SPAN         PRIMARY_IDENTIFIER PRIMARY_SPAN
 : ::::     :  :   : ::          : ::::  : ::    :  : :::: : ::
nrnmarynnnnnrnnsnnnsnannnnnnnnnnnrnmarynndnntnnnnrnnrnmarynsnan

I hope someone can fix this. I looked at the source code, but don't know where to begin!

Best wishes,

Rupert Millard
