Find a more consistent terminology #11

Open Bernhard10 opened 8 years ago

Sometimes we use node, sometiem element for coarse grained elements.

E.g. get_node_from_residue_num and nucleotides_to_elements do similar things but have different names.

Also the words loop, bulge, stem, element, interior loop are sometimes used incorrectly/ inconsistently

Do we call "i1", "s0", ... element names?

Another example is fasta/ fastax/ ss_fasta.

Do we make a difference between fasta files and fasta+structure files?

For forgi 2.0, I tried to use elem for the keys to rna.defines and define only for the values (i.e. list of ints)

For forgi 3.0, we should again check the terminology and make it even more consistent.
