Wow ... This will be quite a module, if you will put EVERYTHING related to DNA and Protein SeqAn into it ...

It is not "relevant ONLY to PCR".

Probably, it is not such a bad idea to divide them like this:
analysis
`-- protein
   `-- content
   `-- surface
   `-- hydrophobicity
      `-- Kite-Doolittle
      `-- Eisenberg
   `-- secondary structure
      `-- local
      `-- global
`-- nucleic
   `-- melting temp
   `-- GC content

What's about this: first level -- by object (protein or nucleic sequence), second level -- by what is obtained by this analysis.

It's just an idea, the list is not exhaustive.
