NAME

       Bio::LiveSeq::ChainI - Double linked chain data structure

SYNOPSIS

         #documentation needed

DESCRIPTION

       This class generates and manipulates generic double linked list, chain, that can be used to manage
       biological sequences.

       The advantages over strings or plain arrays is the ease of tracking changes (mutations) in the elements
       (sequence). The other side of the coin is that these structures need consideraly more memory, but that is
       cheap and constantly inceasing resource in computers.
