[Biojava-l] Editing a RichSequence

[Jolyon Holdstock]

Hi 


Hi,

I am trying to edit a Genbank sequence. 
The code I'm using is as follows:

[code]
richSeq = RichSequence.IOTools.readGenbankDNA(new BufferedReader(new
FileReader(new File("U00096.gbk"))), null).nextRichSequence();
            
SymbolList sl1 = DNATools.createDNA("AAAGGGTTTCCC");
Edit editOne = new Edit(47078, 2690, sl1);
richSeq.edit(editOne);

[/code]

When it runs it gives the following error

ChangeVetoException: org.biojava.utils.ChangeVetoException:
AbstractSymbolList is immutable


I have used the code for a smaller sequence (15kb, compared with 4Mb)
and it works.

Does anyone have an idea why this is not working?

Thanks,

Jolyon
