+ * may get tweaked to produce more 'realistic' results.

+ * Arguments:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>length (number of bases in each sequence)</li>
+ * <li>height (number of sequences)</li>
+ * <li>a whole number random seed</li>
+ * <li>percentage of gaps to include (0-100)</li>
+ * <li>percentage chance of variation of each position (0-100)</li>
