Translating DNA into proteinΒΆ

Section author: Gavin Huttley

To translate a DNA alignment, read it in assigning the DNA alphabet. Note setting aligned=False is critical for loading sequences of unequal length. Different genetic codes are available in cogent3.core.genetic_code

>>> from cogent3 import load_unaligned_seqs
>>> al = load_unaligned_seqs('data/test2.fasta', moltype="dna")
>>> pal = al.get_translation()
>>> print(pal.to_fasta())
