""" Alphabetic sequences and associated tools and data.

Seq is a subclass of a python string with additional annotation and an alphabet.
The characters in string must be contained in the alphabet. Various standard
alphabets are provided.


Classes :
    Alphabet    -- A subset of non-null ascii characters
    Seq         -- An alphabetic string
    SeqList     -- A collection of Seq's
  
Alphabets :    
    o generic_alphabet  -- A generic alphabet. Any printable ASCII character.
    o protein_alphabet -- IUCAP/IUB Amino Acid one letter codes. 
    o nucleic_alphabet -- IUPAC/IUB Nucleic Acid codes 'ACGTURYSWKMBDHVN-'
    o dna_alphabet -- Same as nucleic_alphabet, with 'U' (Uracil) an 
        alternative for 'T' (Thymidine).
    o rna_alphabet -- Same as nucleic_alphabet, with 'T' (Thymidine) an
        alternative for 'U' (Uracil).
    o reduced_nucleic_alphabet -- All ambiguous codes in 'nucleic_alphabet' are
        alternative to 'N' (aNy)
    o reduced_protein_alphabet -- All ambiguous ('BZJ') and non-canonical amino 
        acids codes ( 'U', Selenocysteine and 'O', Pyrrolysine)  in 
        'protein_alphabet' are alternative to 'X'.
    o unambiguous_dna_alphabet -- 'ACGT'
    o unambiguous_rna_alphabet -- 'ACGU'
    o unambiguous_protein_alphabet -- The twenty canonical amino acid one letter
        codes, in alphabetic order, 'ACDEFGHIKLMNPQRSTVWY'
