[Biojava-l] equality of proteins based on their aminoacid sequence signature

[Andy Yates]

This is where the subject becomes murky & will probably mean that any code written for equals() & hashcode() will have to take them into account where present. However Sequence compound identity would still be available from another method but this will require an extension of the Sequence interface

Assuming I have some time soon I can have a look into implementing it on AbstractCompound, AbstractSequence & the backing stores but it will be some time away. If anyone else wants to give it a shot ... :)
