[Chimera-users] Fwd: single-sequence FASTA file does not open

[Lucas J. Thode]

Oops, sorry about double-posting this, but I forgot to mention that I am
not on the list, so remember to CC me.
----- Original Message -----

In Chimera beta 1 build 2199 on Windows XP Professional SP2, I cannot open
a FASTA file that contains a single sequence.  (The file in question is
attached and looks to be a valid FASTA file according to the documentation
I have read on the FASTA format.)  What should I do about this issue?

Error log:
Opening F:\H Biotech Engineering\cftr.fasta
Error reading F:\H Biotech Engineering\cftr.fasta:
IOError: Only one sequence found in Aligned FASTA file 'F:\H Biotech
Engineering\cftr.fasta'; check your alignment file for errors
(see reply log for Python traceback info)
