[Biojava-l] Newbie Questioin: Reading Fasta Files (Keeping Xs seperate from Ns)

[Giles Goetz]

Hi, I just started using Biojava and was playing with the various IO stuff 
and I noticed that some of the fasta format files I had, which contained 
both N's and X's *X's were created from a vector screen program cross match* 
were having the X's replaced with N's.

Is this a bug or supposed to happen? and is there anyway to get it to keep 
them seperate.  I used both the function readFastaDNA and readFasta with the 
Alphabet set as DNA. Thanks.
