Codon tables should have start codon statistics available for use.

Where should we be saving this ?

What do you mean exactly by "start codon statistics"?

What do you mean exactly by "start codon statistics"?

I'd like to know, in a given organism's codon table, how many start codons are alternative start codons (for example in E.coli, how many gtg start codons there are vs ATG start codons

Basically a modification of codonTable from

// codonTable holds information for a codon table.
type codonTable struct {
    StartCodons []string    `json:"start_codons"`
    StopCodons  []string    `json:"stop_codons"`
    AminoAcids  []AminoAcid `json:"amino_acids"`
}

to

// codonTable holds information for a codon table.
type codonTable struct {
    StartCodons []string    `json:"start_codons"`
    StopCodons  []string    `json:"stop_codons"`
    AminoAcids  []AminoAcid `json:"amino_acids"`
   StartCodonStatistics map[string]int
}

It's actually not very useful for engineering, it's just something I think is interesting.

This should probably be a method in the Table interface as well.

I'd imagine so. As said, this is lower priority because it doesn't matter that much when it comes to building things, but I think it is interesting and shows something about the organisms.
