Hello,
There has been some talk of changing that in future versions of biojava.
However you may be able to get the desired behaivour by making your own
SymbolTokenizer and making it case sensitive. In this way you can map
lower or upper case characters to any Symbol you want. You could even go
as far as making your own Alphabet.
It really depends on what you wish to do with these soft masked sequences.

Subject: [Biojava-l] Uppercase/lowercase sequences
Hello everybody!
I saw some postings about this topic already on the list, but no "real"
solution so far.
I take it that seqeunces are always handled in lowercase letters, so
that basically biojava is unsuitable for working together with any
algorythms that use soft masked sequences.
Is there any plan to actually change that in the near future, or is
there already a solution that I missed?
Thanks for any comments
Maik
