Hi all,

I've been trying to use Artemis with a recent Ensembl files from Anopheles 
(3.46).

However, some things came to my atention.
When I activate the "All features On Frame Lines" every feature is depicted on its correspondent lane. But why are exons also places on the frame lines? The exons don't have any frame! Shouldn't the frameless features be maintained on the central lines (or on a non-frame line)? The same thing happens when adding a multi-FASTA file. A concatenated sequence is loaded and several features, labelled "fasta_record", are created. Again this features are placed as having frame!
Is this a bug or am I forgetting something?

Another thing that I've noticed is that there is no use for the "seqname" field in the GFF files. When placing features only the position and strand are taken into account, with all of them being placed in its positions but counting from the beginning of the concatenated sequence. Is there a way to link the "seqname" field with the "fasta_record" feature so that each feature is placed on the correct sequence? The idea would be to load a single GFF with the annotations for all the sequences present in a multi-FASTA.

SEQ1    EMBL    atg     103     105     .       +       0
SEQ1    EMBL    cds     103     171     .       +       0
SEQ1    EMBL    stop    172     174     .       +       .

SEQ2    EMBL    atg     173     175     .       +       .
SEQ2    EMBL    cds     173     258     .       +       .
SEQ2    EMBL    stop    259     261     .       +       0


thanks in adv,
FG
