In response to the comment by Ulrich Melcher on sequence changes:

UM>we change how those codes are depicted on the printed page.
I'm not too fussed about how these codes are depicted on a page. However, when
I'm transcribing sequence by hand, I often use lower case "g" instead of G.
(Unfortunately, this could lead to confusion because g is often used for
"probably G".)
Just a thought,
cheers,
John,
