[Biojava-l] Getting reverse complement

[Janier J. Ramírez]

I'm triyng to get the reverse complement from a sequence with gaps (represented as ':'), but biojava thow an IllegalSymbolException, is this a bug or what is the symbol to represent gaps in biojava ?

Here is the error.


org.biojava.bio.symbol.IllegalSymbolException: This tokenization doesn't contain character: ':'
	at org.biojava.bio.seq.io.CharacterTokenization.parseTokenChar(CharacterTokenization.java:175)
	at org.biojava.bio.seq.io.CharacterTokenization$TPStreamParser.characters(CharacterTokenization.java:246)
	at org.biojava.bio.symbol.SimpleSymbolList.<init>(SimpleSymbolList.java:178)
	at org.biojava.bio.seq.DNATools.createDNA(DNATools.java:204)


Greetings
