[Bioperl-l] planning sequence mutating modules

[Ryan Golhar]

Here are my two cents....

1.  Allow sequences to be mutated by some percent amount.
2.  Use mutation patterns implied by PAM matrices or some known models
of mutation.
3.  Have the output show the original sequences and the mutated sequence
so you can easily identify what was mutated and what is conserved.

Yegor,

Like you said, there are examples how it is done.. It should be possible
to 
evolve sequences based on a rooted tree. You just walk the tree and
evolve 
each sequence from its parent.  If there is  an agreement how the branch

lengths get translated to  mutations, even that could be done. Do you
have 
any suggestions?
