Re: make feature to create embl or genbank file

Hi Hedwig,

The problem holds with StrandedFeature. The strandeness of a feature  
is the transdeness of its location. StrandedFeature should be  
eliminated from bj1. Use biojavaX instead, something like this, once  
you have created a RichLocation on the appropriate strand:

public Feature.Template getFeatureTemplate(RichSequence  
parent,RichLocation loc) {
         RichFeature.Template templ = new RichFeature.Template();
         RichAnnotation rans = new SimpleRichAnnotation();
	templ.annotation = rans;
         templ.sourceTerm = // find an appropriate term
         templ.typeTerm =  
RichObjectFactory.getDefaultOntology().getOrCreateTerm("CDS");
         templ.featureRelationshipSet = new TreeSet();
         templ.rankedCrossRefs = new TreeSet();
         templ.location = loc;

         // add notes if any you'd like

         return templ;
}

That should make it into the output file.

Regards,
George
