[Bioperl-l] Bio::AlignIO::metafasta tests

[Chris Fields]

Sendu,

This is Heikki's original submission for the specs for meta format:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.bio.general/1370/match=meta+fa
sta

So it's really a specialized FASTA format used to store meta information
about sequences.  Seems mainly useful for amino acid sequences, but is
extended to include properties of nucleotides like DNA content, RNA sec.
structure, and so on.
