With 2-4, the version I looked at didn't have the features that couldn't be parsed.
With 1, the problem is that it's a circular sequence, and 134545^1 wraps around. At the boot camp two years ago, I think we decided the right thing to do is check the flag, and promote it to 134545^(sequencelength + 1). My memory is a little hazy though, could someone check me? The reason you aren't seeing an error is that this isn't one. Kind of. A biojava sequence is returned from case 1, and it includes all the features except the one it couldn't handle. An error isn't thrown because that would halt execution, and the parser can function to some degree. The philosophy behind this choice was that even though biojava can't handle the entire sequence, you might be able to work with the part it could parse. If it's important to you to provide all or nothing, I believe registering a listener with the parser that throws an exception when anything happens will prevent the sequence from being created.

Thank you for a reply. I am sorry that my reply is overdue. It is as follows that I checked; (1) AB042240 misc_feature 134545^1 (2) AB046436 misc_feature 92619..88345 (3) AB033993 misc_feature 2636..2382 (4) AB047280 repeat_unit 11648..1676 And I got them in GenBank format, their features is deleted, except (1). If you want to DDBJ Format, please access URL below; http://getentry.ddbj.nig.ac.jp/getstart-e.html Probably, you turn out that DDBJ format is almost the same as GenBank except for the point of GI Number.
