surely the approach I gave, of individually translating
all the matches of an ambiguity symbol, then looking up
the appropriate symbol for the translated set, should work
nicely.  In this case:
 
           trans(n)
        == trans([a c g t])
        == [trans(a) trans(c) trans(g) trans(t)]
        == [u g c a]
        == n             <now the RNA n>
