[Biopython-dev] Bio.IntelliGenetics

Hello again,

Interestingly the IntelliGenetics looks the same as the MASE alignment
file format:
http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Mase_multiple_alignment_format

On the other hand, the EMBOSS example is clearly not a multiple
sequence alignment:
http://emboss.sourceforge.net/docs/themes/seqformats/ig

Adding the parser to Bio.SeqIO would let us read in alignments too via
Bio.AlignIO (which will offload the parsing to Bio.SeqIO and then try
and convert the SeqRecords into an Alignment).

Peter
