[Bioperl-l] informative codons method for kaks -- Bio/Align/DNAStatistics.pm

[Albert Vilella]

I will opt for the "return the number of informative codons" then, which

I don't know when is this going to be there if it depends on me,
though... my list of 'enh' bug tickets is growing shamefully fast :p

Cheers,

    Albert.
