[Biojava-l] Constructing (wrapping) DNASequence from a SequenceView<NucleotideCompound>

[Andreas Prlic]

Did you see the getSequenceAsString method?

ProteinSequence ps = new
ProteinSequence(results.get(frame).getSequenceAsString());

The difference is that you go from a view of a sequence, (which, if I
remember correctly, does not take much memory), to an newly allocated
sequence instance.
