0003987: False formatting error reporting
Importing an alignment from bioedit to MEGA10 is normally fine, but this time it reports its finding a nucleotide T when it expects a > on line 28. However the format is fine and there is no T where it states there is and there is a sequence with a > symbol where it should be. I have tried converting to MEGA but makes no difference. There is no hidden space or tab either- the line
Take the file and select open in MEGA and select nucleotide and the error message should appear
No tags attached.

Hi Rowena,

I am writing in response to the bug report you recently submitted regarding the MEGA software. Thanks for the feedback! The error you encountered occurs because the first sequence in the file has one less base than the other sequences. It looks like the first base is missing in the first sequence. In the screen shot below you can see that the first sequence appears to be shifted one position to the left.
