Hi Dr. Sullivan,

Glad to hear your contig order completed.  More below...

The missing whitespace warnings that were reported come from
BioJava's .gbk parser not liking some aspect of the formatting of the
genbank file.  Usually the annotation will still parse and this is not a
problem.

This may be a problem, and at the very least it will prevent you from
viewing the final alignment in the Mauve GUI.  One other person has
reported the same problem to me using a different dataset but I was
unable to reproduce it and therefore unable to debug it.  Possible
causes of the error include non-printing characters in the sequence or
alignment file, a corrupt alignment file (maybe the disk filled up?), or
an as-of-yet undiscovered programming error in the alignment display
code.  Can you check to ensure that the final alignment (alignment7) is
similar in size to the previous one and confirm that it's not an issue
with disk space?  Can you load earlier alignments, e.g. alignment6,
alignment5 in the display?  If that doesn't lead anywhere, could you
send me the dataset (offline and in confidence of course) so I may
investigate more closely?

Cheers,
-Aaron
