Database redesign

GUI extension

Draft of PFAM querying

In the experimental parts, we determined a first rough estimate of NRPS domain boundaries based on Pfam. Thus we also wanted our software to use the Pfam predictions to make it easier to semi-automatically add new domains into our database. A first test Python script was written which queried the Pfam API using the Requests library according to the online documentation and then parsed the XML output. The Biopython library also proved to be of great help.
