Already running into one problem here. These methods call 
"isRepresentedByBase" a couple of times. But that is only defined in 
BCNucleotideSymbol, not in BCSymbol.

I can think of a few solutions:

1. Change the name to isRepresentedBySymbol, and put an empty method in 
BCSymbol. I don;t think that the one in BCNucleotideSymbol gets called 
then, because I am treating all symbols as BCSymbol

2. Add an extra line that tests if the symbol is a BCNucleotideSymbol, 
and then excecute the line containing isRepresentedBySymbol.

3. ...


I think the second one is the way to go, but it might bring additional 
problems.

Any other ideas?


thanks,
