If the EMBL entry really uses complement as a keyword (i.e. it contains a /complement= qualifier) then I guess you've found a bug in BioJava -- please could you send me the EMBL file you're working with. However, if you've just got entries which look like: FT misc_feature complement(57216..57545) FT /note="match: STS: Em:HSB298YH5 Em:Z53425" In this case, the "complement" just means that the feature is located in the reverse orientation. If you load it into BioJava, you will find this feature table record represented by a StrandedFeature with the strand property set to NEGATIVE Thomas. _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
