    Summary:
    Cut and paste in a multiple alignment deletes gaps
    Original submission:
    The subject pretty much says it. If you have a multiple alignment in a sequence canvas, select by name, and cut one sequence from one row and past it to a different row, the gaps are lost.

    It turned out that GenBank2008.java:translateSequence, line 214, had the following:

    parray[1].replaceAll("[^a-zA-Z]", ""));

    The decision to not allow gaps in GenBank files was based
    on the mistaken belief that they weren't in the official
    format definition in the NCBI Release Notes. However, it turns out that the Release Notes say nothing whatsoever about which characters are legal, so the gap character has been added.

    parray[1].replaceAll("[^a-zA-Z-]", ""));     		04/13/15 11:36 B_Fristensky
    Just to make the point, both Cut/Paste and Copy/Paste fail to preserve the gaps. However, when calling either Copy or Cut, a System.out.println(result.toString()) added in line 1ine 1513 of SequenceCanvas.java copyClipboard does print out a sequence in GenBank format with gaps. So the gaps must be lost during the Paste step. 04/09/15 12:47 B_Fristensky
    Interestingly, CopyOut and PasteIn DO preserve gaps. The contents of .blpalign_clipboard, for example, clearly show gaps. It is worthy of note that CopyOut saves files in GDE format. What do the internal Copy and Paste functions do? 04/09/15 12:41 B_Fristensky
    During a copy and paste, no error messages are sent to the console. 04/09/15 12:09 B_Fristensky
    This is also true with CopyOut and PasteIn, as well as with Extract. 03/16/15 17:12 B_Fristensky
    I don't know for a fact that this is related to 1198, but it's an odd coincidence. 03/15/15 19:57 B_Fristensky
