[EMBOSS] Sequence format problem

[Aengus Stewart]

Had a user complain that his sequence wasnt being recognised.

It was a GCG format sequence.

The error was

Died: Unknown sequence type code for 'u'

There were no 'u's in the sequence!

After a bit of fiddling I discovered it was the * at the end of the sequence.

I believe that the * appeared in GCG format sequences when a traslation was incomplete.

I imagine some other people may have problems with this.


Cheers
Aengus
