Hi - I was trying to replicate this error to fix it but I can't (has someone kindly fixed it for me??). The following code seems to work fine
System.out.println("Testing n symbol"); Symbol ambig = PhredTools.getPhredSymbol(DNATools.n(), IntegerAlphabet.getInstance().getSymbol(12)); System.out.println("Successfuly constructed "+ambig.getName()); Producing Testing n symbol Successfuly constructed ([cytosine adenine thymine guanine] 12) Are you still having problems with this? Are you using BioJava live? - Mark > -----Original Message----- > From: David Waring [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, 20 February 2003 4:20 p.m. > To: biojava > Subject: [Biojava-l] Phred Sequence > > > I am writing code to parse a .phd file and create a > PhredSequence.
