Hello!

I think Biopython would benefit from a Decoys module, since decoy generatio=
n is an important step of proteomics workflows, and Biopython is already a =
useful tool for building proteomics pipelines. I think it could implement d=
ecoy SeqRecord Generators from provided SeqRecord Generators, together with=
 specific functions that generate a decoy sequence from a given sequence, f=
ollowing a similar API to Biopython.SeqIO.

I am willing to develop the following module, implementing reverse, shuffle=
, pseudo-reverse and pseudo-shuffle decoy generators, the API, and unit tes=
ting.
