[Bioperl-l] planning sequence mutating modules

[Georgii A Bazykin]

Hi,

Just a thought: I really think that in perspective, it would be nice
to be able to evolve the sequence along a tree of given shape. I think
PAML's "evolver" has this functionality. I've already been doing this
in my scripts, but I am not sure how to couple the tree and the
sequence data properly.
