[Biopython-dev] Adding translate to the SeqRecord

[Peter Cock]

Hello again,

Sadly no comments about the proposed SeqRecord translate
method here or github - I've mentioned the idea to a few people
in person who were positive in principle:

https://github.com/biopython/biopython/pull/1144

I'm inclined to take this as no objections, and will merge it next
week...

Peter
