Interface ManyToOneTranslationTable

All Superinterfaces:

TranslationTable

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface ManyToOneTranslationTable
extends TranslationTable

A translation table that will handle the many-to-one mappings that you see, for example, with genetic codes.

It differs from a ReversibleTranslationTable in that the reverse translation returns a Set of Symbols in the source alphabet that translate to give that Symbol in the target Alphabet.
