Description
            
BTD: Bio-informatics Toolbox from DCB is a toolbox developed by members of
Department of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, University of Kerala,
Thiruvananthapuram, Keralam. Various functions have been developed for
processing Nucleotide and Protein sequences. 

Our Project students, Priyadarshini K and Jasmine Russel, and M.Sc students,
Anoop Ambika, Arya S A, Divya D R, Priyanka B R, Sangeetha Jayakumar, Sinumol
George, Sreejith R P and Suresh Kumar, have contributed their academic projects
as functions to the BTD Toolbox.

CHANGES 1.0 => 1.1 
------------------
Full changelog: https://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/BTD/1.1/files/changelog.txt

NEW FEATURES
 * btd_getembl, btd_getgenbank, btd_getgenpept, btd_getpdb,
   btd_getuniprot: output filename added in option.

IMPROVED MACROS
* btd_aadensity, btd_ntdensity: plot improved (y<1, AA sequence in title)

BUG FIXED
* btd_getpdb: The URL was wrong (error 404): updated.

JAVA FEATURES
* There were inconsistencies in the class/package/file name.
* Both jimport instructions in btd.nwalign and btd.swalign pages
  were wrong
* ./src/java/loader.sce removed (BTD now does it directly).
NOTE: both btd.nwalign and btd.swalign did not work in v. 1.0:
jimport yielded an error. This may be still the same in v.1.1
(but sometimes it had worked..).

HELP PAGES
* 3 sub-sections created: Amino Acids, Conversions, and Data bases.
* All pages improved a lot. Some are fixed. Please see the full changelog file.

PACKAGING
* builder.sce can now build for both Scilab 5 and Scilab 6
* BDT.start improved
* license_MIT file added
* changelog.txt file added

Hello!

I need your help to measure distances between nucleotide bases in scilab, like this 
example:

genome sequence = ATGTCAGAGAAAGAAATTTG...

Let x be the distance between similar bases. For each base, individual distances [x_A, 
x_G, x_C, x_T] of the above genome sequence are
x_A1 = 5, x_A2 = 2, x_A3 = 2, x_A4 = 1, x_A5 = 1, x_A6 = 2, x_A7 = 1, x_A8 = 1, etc
x_G1 = 4, x_G2 = 2, x_G3 = 4, x_G4 = 7, etc
x_C1 = ...
x_T1 = 2, x_T2 = 13, x_T3 = 1, x_T4 = 1, etc

Each base will have an array (or file) which will contain the distances for further 
analysis. Is it possible to expand your toolbox for this function, and name it 
btd_basedist?

Thank you!
