Is that a help offer? Whomever wants to add to MIRA is very welcome, though 
I'll note that there's a reason these two functions are not fully implemented 
yet: they're not easy to implement and it'll at least a couple of weeks to 
implement (and test!) either one.

Both points are currently on hold, I have a couple of other things with higher 
priority on my list atm. The basics for checkpointing are there (MAF is a 
result of it), but then I needed to shift focus when I saw that there was more 
to it than I wanted.

For that I suppose that any bacterial Sanger data set from the NCBI trace 
archive should work pretty well. I'd have to search for one though, all the 
ones I had I lost a couple of weeks ago.
