Aaron,

I was in a hurry and ran Mauve with some DNASTAR format .seq files without 
converting them to .fas or .gbk first. The alignment seems to have run fine, so 
the files were correctly recognized, but the display did not load. Here is part 
of the console log:

If I try loading the alignment file, I get the last part of the above (from 
Exception in thread). The actual alignment file notes that the files are in the 
DNAstar format:

#FormatVersion Mauve1
#Sequence1File  C:\Users\plunkettg\Documents\Assemblies\RS218\missing-in-454.seq
#Sequence1Format        DNAstar
#Annotation1File        
C:\Users\plunkettg\Documents\Assemblies\RS218\missing-in-454.seq
#Annotation1Format      DNAstar
#Sequence2File  
C:\Users\plunkettg\Documents\Assemblies\RS218\RS218_v20-chromosome.seq
#Sequence2Format        DNAstar
#Annotation2File        
C:\Users\plunkettg\Documents\Assemblies\RS218\RS218_v20-chromosome.seq
#Annotation2Format      DNAstar
#BackboneFile   C:\Users\plunkettg\Documents\Assemblies\RS218\testing.bbcols
> 1:1-10138 + C:\Users\plunkettg\Documents\Assemblies\RS218\missing-in-454.seq

So my question is, if the alignment engine can recognize and deal with DNASTAR 
format sequences, how hard would it be to have the display engine read them as 
well?

Partial disclaimer: I do work for DNASTAR now, but this question is not for 
them.

Cheers,
Guy
