Dear All,

I am having a problem using the Blosum62 matrix file from the NCBI website for
use in Smith-Waterman alignments. When I attempt to run my code reading in the
file to initialise the Substitution Matrix Object the following exception is
thrown

"org.biojava.bio.symbol.IllegalSymbolException: This tokenization doesn't
contain character: '*'"



Thanking you in advance,

Saif
