This is a class which provides generic methods for the creation and
mutation of genetic sequences. Various mutations are provided but the
resulting mutations are not checked for a correct syntax. These classes are
suitable for genes where it is only necessary to know what lies at a given
position in a gene. If you need to ensure a gene maintains a sensible
grammar, then you should use the AI::Gene::Sequence class instead, the
interfaces are the same though so you will only need to modify your
overriding classes if you need to switch from one to the other.

A suitable use for this module might be a series of coefficients in a
polynomial expansion or notes to be played in a musical score.

This module should not be confused with the _bioperl_ modules which are
used to analyse DNA sequences.
