Biomojify

A companion program, biomojify, will convert sequences rather than summarise them:

There is lots of room for improvement in this tool. The majority of the code has been written in the hours (and minutes) prior to presentations, so its almost guaranteed to be suboptimal. Pull requests welcome on GitHub.
