Hello Todd, This sounds a bit like what the biojava BioIndex code does. You make be able to use that.

(UCSC chromosomal fasta files contain just 1 sequence for the whole chromosome). I was hoping that someone may have already written a class that will take in an alphabet and a range (maybe in the form of a RangeLocation object) and will return the sequence in that range from the file. I would hate to spend time re-inventing a wheel that may already exist. Thanks, Todd _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - Biojava-l@biojava.org http://biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - Biojava-l@biojava.org http://biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
