NAME

alignment-translate - Translate a DNA/RNA alignment into amino acids.

SYNOPSIS

alignment-translate [OPTIONS] < sequence-file [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

Translate a DNA/RNA alignment into amino acids.

ALLOWED OPTIONS:

-h, --help

Produce help message

-g arg (=standard), --genetic-code arg (=standard)

Specify alternate genetic code.

-f arg (=1), --frame arg (=1)

Frame 1, 2, 3, -1, -2, or -3

-r, --reverse

Just return the reverse

-c, --complement

Just return the complement

-t arg (=yes), --translate arg (=yes)

Translate the sequences

EXAMPLES:

Translate DNA or RNA to amino acids in reading frame 1:

% alignment-translate < dna.fasta > aa.fasta
    

Give the reverse complement without translation:

% alignment-translate -rc --translate=no < dna.fasta > dna2.fasta
    

The following commands are identical:

% alignment-translate --frame=-2 < dna.fasta > aa2.fasta
% alignment-translate -rc --frame=2 < dna.fasta > aa2.fasta
