Research direction

The issue names no specific files or functions, only the parsers and GenBank (gbk) files with CONTIG(JOIN) structure. Start by finding the GenBank parser in the crate and reading how it handles join locations. Done would mean a set of edge-case inputs run through the parsers, with failures recorded and any needed fixes flagged. Scope is not defined, so confirm it with the maintainer first.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
