It would have helped me avoid some confusion if the Tutorial had mentioned
the difference between sequences from the coding strand and from the
template strand and the fact that the transcribe function in BioPython
expects a sequence from the coding strand. My biology colleagues here seem
to prefer thinking of transcribing the sequence from the template strand.
It's not a big deal now that we understand what the intent is, but it caused
some misunderstanding at first.

Or remove it? We cover transcription and translation earlier:
Section 2.2 Working with sequences
http://biopython.org/DIST/docs/tutorial/Tutorial.html#htoc8
The source to the tutorial is a TeX (or LaTeX?) file in CVS, which
generates the HTML and PDF tutorial. I can update the CVS files, but I
don't think I can update the file on the webpage...
