Add the ability to degenerate loci #94

Closed djlohman closed 2 years ago

This is another optional improvement that might take too long to implement, but would nonetheless be extremely useful.

Incorporate the capability of degenerating some or all loci http://www.phylotools.com/ptdegenoverview.htm

Saturated 3rd codon positions can create spurious, misleading phylogenetic signal. Using degenerated sequences can help with this.
