[Bioperl-l] non-palindromic issue in Bio::Restriction::Analysis

[Apurva Narechania]

Hi,

I was hoping you could confirm and give me some feedback on an issue  
I think I've found with the Bio::Restriction::Analysis module. I am  
using the enzyme AciI, a non-palindromic restriction enzyme with a 5'  
C | CGC 3' recognition site. The module should search both the  
forward and the reverse complement strings in the case of a non- 
palindromic enzyme. I have found that the this works only  
intermittently. For example, the following sequence:

GAAAAAAACAAAGGAAGAAGCTAGCTAGCAGGGCACGCGGTTTGAGGATGGCTGGTGGCCGACCGCAGGGCG 
CGCGGTTG
GAGGATTGCTGGTGGCCGACCAGATGAAACTCACGCGCGGCTGGGGACAGCTGGAATATTTGGGCGGCGGCG 
GCTGGTAT

CAATGTAT
ACCGACTAACAATTCGATGCTAATTCTCTATTTATAGCGACAGTCGTCAGACACTAATTTGGTGTTGTGGTA 
TAATGCTA
GTGCCTCACCGCTGTAGGTGTTGGTCTACTGGTGC

Should digest into 10 fragments using this enzyme, but the module  
produces only 7. Could you please confirm this behavior, and if  
observed, suggest some possible fixes? This may be a bug in the  
_non_pal_enz method, or may be me overlooking something pretty obvious.

Thanks,
