Bio::Sequence improvements for round trip

Output (formatting)

• Bio::Sequence#output(format = anything)
  • ERB templates
    • Bio::Sequence#output(format = :embl)
    • Bio::Sequence#output(format = :genbank)

Input (creation of Bio::Sequence object)

• Bio::Sequence#read(str or file?) or Bio::Sequence#input(str or file?)
  • Bio::*#to_biosequence is automatically called
• Bio::*#to_biosequence

Easy access to Bio::Sequence inside BioRuby

• Bio::Sequence#embl, Bio::Sequence#gb
  • returns a wrapper object that acts as if it is Bio::EMBL or Bio::GenBank? objects
  • delegates to Bio::Sequence objects (or translation/conversion may be needed)

Internal structure of Bio::Sequence

• generated from / compatible with XML Schema?
