Function

   Calculates and graphs the sequence conservation using information content

Description

   This function calculates and graphs the sequence conservation in regions
   around the start/stop codons using information content. Values are obtained
   by subtracting the entropy for each positfion from the maximum possible
   value (which will be 2 in the case of nucleotide sequences). Information
   content will show the highest value when the frequency is most biased to a
   single alphabet.

   Information content I is obtained by subtracting the entropy H from the
   maximum uncertainty log(2,|M|):
   I(P(i)) = log(2,|M|) - (-sum(P(i,j) * log(2,P(i,j))))
