[Biopython-dev] Reduced alphabets

[Iddo Friedberg]

Hi,

Thanks to overwhelming demand (well, nobody really objected ;) biopython
now has the rudimentaries for handling reduced alphabets. I committed
the following changes:

1) in Bio.utils I added

   reduce_sequence(seq, reduction_table, new_alphabet=None)

2) in Alphabet, I added Reduce.py, which has reduction tables, and
reduced alphabet definitions + literature citations


Enjoy,

Iddo
