This page is used to convert from nucleic acid sequences (DNA or RNA) to amino acid sequences. Complementary sequences may be generated and any sequence can be read in any of the three reading frames. All amino acid and stop codons are presented. This appication demonstrates transcription and translation. Sequences may be read in from the Windows clipboard.
This application and the alternative Amino acid sequence converter provide an excellent introduction for understanding the genetic code and the processes of transcription, and translation.
