warnings of deprecated functions biopython 1.79, but `generate` still works

[mmp3]

I noticed other Issues that mention that Biopython-1.79 is causing warnings and crashes.

I thought I would report that I see the same warnings, but the iss generate command still completes successfully.

In particular, the following commands completes successfully:

iss generate -n 0.25M -o test_1  --cpus 2  --mode basic  --draft genome1.fna genome2.fna genome3.fna

though it does generate a bunch of warnings:
