[BioRuby] BioRuby multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetics tutorial

[Christian Zmasek]

Hi, all:

I (finally) started to work on the promised multiple sequence alignment and 
phylogenetics tutorial.

You can see the "development" version (not much more than a scaffold at this 
point) here:
http://code.google.com/p/forester/wiki/PhyloBioRuby

(Obviously this needs to be moved once it approaches completeness.)

Any comments?

Please note:

1. In order to allow BioRuby to run at least a very simple phylogenetic 
inference 'pipeline' (unaligned sequences to phylogenetic tree), I am thinking 
about writing wrappers for RAxML and FastME and possibly some programs from the 
PHYLIP package.

2. I still need to test (and clean up) Sarah Rayburn's GSoC code ('SDI') so that 
it can be considered for inclusion into the main BioRuby distribution.
