[Bioperl-l] store variations, generate sequences

[Albert Vilella]

The Bio::PopGen modules contain Individual, population and genotype
objects, among other utilities. There are some input/output formats in
Bio::PopGen::IO and also some methods to go from an aln to a
population.

That said, I am not entirely sure about how much of that overlaps with
Bio::Variation.

If you think anything missing that you would like to have implemented
in bioperl, we would greatly appreciate your feedback,

Cheers,

    Albert.
