=head1 NAME

Bio::Align::Utilities - A collection of utilities regarding converting and manipulating alignment objects

=head1 SYNOPSIS

use Bio::Align::Utilities qw(aa_to_dna_aln);

my $dna_aln = aa_to_dna_aln($aaaln,\%dnaseqs);


=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module contains utility methods for manipulating sequence
alignments ( L<Bio::Align::AlignI>) objects.

The B<aa_to_dna_aln> utility is essentially the same as the B<mrtrans>
program by Bill Pearson available at
ftp://ftp.virginia.edu/pub/fasta/other/mrtrans.shar.  Of course this
is a pure-perl implementation, but just to mention that if anything
seems odd you can check the alignments generated against Bill's
program.

=head2 aa_to_dna_aln

 Title   : aa_to_dna_aln
 Usage   : my $dnaaln = aa_to_dna_aln($aa_aln, \%seqs);
 Function: Will convert an AA alignment to DNA space given the 
           corresponding DNA sequences.  Note that this method expects 
           the DNA sequences to be in frame +1 (GFF frame 0) as it will
           start to project into coordinates starting at the first base of 
           the DNA sequence, if this alignment represents a different 
           frame for the cDNA you will need to edit the DNA sequences
           to remove the 1st or 2nd bases (and revcom if things should be).
 Returns : Bio::Align::AlignI object 
 Args    : 2 arguments, the alignment and a hashref.
           Alignment is a Bio::Align::AlignI of amino acid sequences. 
           The hash reference should have keys which are 
           the display_ids for the aa 
           sequences in the alignment and the values are a 
           Bio::PrimarySeqI object for the corresponding 
           spliced cDNA sequence.
