[Bioperl-l] SeqIO

[Brian Osborne]

Chris,

Many many years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, only about half  
of the formats had their own tests. A primitive being saw this and  
created simple tests for all the 'missing' formats. His thought  
probably was 'this is better than nothing'. In fact this being assumed  
that GCG was an outdated and unused format, even as long ago as that  
time was.

The origins of so much of what we now know as 'Bioperl' are frequently  
mysterious, or incomprehensible to modern day humans...
