         use Bio::DB::CUTG;
         use Bio::CodonUsage::IO;
         use Bio::Tools::SeqStats;

DESCRIPTION

       This class provides methods for accessing codon usage table data.

       All of the methods at present are simple look-ups of the table or are derived from simple
       calculations from the table. Future methods could include measuring the codon usage of a
       sequence , for example, or provide methods for examining codon usage in alignments.

FEEDBACK

   Mailing Lists
       User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send
       your comments and suggestions preferably to one of the Bioperl mailing lists.  Your
       participation is much appreciated.

   Support
       Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

       bioperl-l@bioperl.org

       rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will
       be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description
       of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

   Reporting Bugs
       Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track the bugs and their
