Yes, you're probably right. Although you could use NSSet's allObjects  
method, which returns an array of sequences. So maybe its actually  
better to have a BCSequenceArray class:

@interface BCSequenceArray : NSObject
{
     NSMutableArray    *sequenceArray       // array of the sequences

     NSString                *description;               // text to  
describe the sequences
}

-(void) sequenceAtIndex:(int)index;
-(void) addSequence: (BCSequence *) aSequence;
-(void) removeSequence (BCSequence *) aSequence;

@end


We could eg make use of NSArray's makeObjectsPerformSelector method  
to set up alignments etc.

cheers,
