Hello Tony,

This unit test shows how to access the qualities in a QualityFeature

    public void testCreateDNASequenceWithQualityScores()
    {
        DNASequence sequence =
FastqTools.createDNASequenceWithQualityScores(builder.build());
        assertNotNull(sequence);

        List features = sequence.getFeaturesByType("qualityScores");
        assertNotNull(features);
        assertEquals(1, features.size());
        QualityFeature qualityScores = (QualityFeature) features.get(0);
        assertEquals(sequence.getLength(), qualityScores.getQualities().size());
        assertEquals(sequence.getLength(),
qualityScores.getLocations().getLength());
    }
