Research direction

The issue points to AlignIO and specifically the obsolete PFAM database and one Bugzilla reference. Search the biopython.org site source for those references, confirm the relevant AlignIO documentation context, and verify that both references are addressed.

  • the PFAM database is no more
  • one bugzilla reference
