[Bioperl-l] Mixed bless-ings with Bio::Seq/Bio::PrimarySeq (Bio::Seq::Meta::Array)

[Michael Kiwala]

My vote is for SeqI.

I was using the SeqWithQuality class and more recently switched over to 
Bio::Seq::Quality as we are upgrading from 1.4 to 1.5.2. The sequences 
I'm working with are destined for GenBank and have features and quality 
values. I've written a module (that I call GenBank::Tbl2Asn) that 
accepts a Bio::Seq::Quality with features and runs tbl2asn on it to 
produce a file that we send to GenBank. I don't know of any other class 
that suites my needs better than Bio::Seq::Quality inheriting from 
Bio::SeqI.
