           Summary: back_translate method for the Seq object (in Bio.Seq)?
           Product: Biopython
           Version: Not Applicable
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Main Distribution
        AssignedTo: biopython-dev at biopython.org
        ReportedBy: biopython-bugzilla at maubp.freeserve.co.uk


Should we add a back_translate method to the Seq object (mirroring the
translate method added on Bug 2381)?  Mailing list discussion:
http://lists.open-bio.org/pipermail/biopython/2008-October/004588.html

Issues include how to cope with the ambiguous nature of the genetic code, e.g.
"P" -> "CCT" or "CCN"?  What about "L" -> "CTN" versus "TTR" or other options?

Possible implementation to follow as a patch.
