[Biojava-l] Introducing a mutation in a DNA sequence

[Jose Manuel Duarte]

Hi Jonas

I'm not very familiar with the sequence part of Biojava, but after 
looking around a bit it seems that indeed there's no available way to 
mutate sequences. It looks like people using Biojava before had 
"read-only" applications in mind. I agree a setCompoundAt(int position) 
would be needed, it should actually be part of the Sequence interface. 
It would be a nice addition for 4.1.

Anyway sorry I can't be of more help, perhaps someone else has some more 
background info on this.

Jose
