[Biojava-l] "packed" SymbolLists?

[Dave Barkan]

Hey all,

I saw in the tutorial on the Biojava home page that it is possible to
implement a "packed" symbolList that only uses 2-4 bits per nucleotide.
Is there a class available that implements this yet?  (If not, what is the
reasoning behind this and would it be something I could easily set up and
give back to the community?)

Thanks,
dave
