Translate nucleic acid sequences
transeq -sequence seqall [-frame list] [-table list] [-regions range] [-trim boolean] [-clean boolean] -alternative boolean -outseq seqoutall transeq -help
transeq is a command line program from EMBOSS (“the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite”). It is part of the "Nucleic:Translation" command group(s).
-sequence seqall
-frame list
Default value: 1
-table list
-regions range
Regions to translate. If this is left blank, then the complete sequence is translated. A set of regions is specified by a set of pairs of positions. The positions are integers. They are separated by any non-digit, non-alpha character. Examples of region specifications are: 24-45, 56-78 1:45, 67=99;765..888 1,5,8,10,23,45,57,99 Note: you should not try to use this option with any other frame than the default, -frame=1
-trim boolean
This removes all 'X' and '*' characters from the right end of the translation. The trimming process starts at the end and continues until the next character is not a 'X' or a '*' Default value: N
-clean boolean
This changes all STOP codon positions from the '*' character to 'X' (an unknown residue). This is useful because some programs will not accept protein sequences with '*' characters in them. Default value: N
-alternative boolean
The default definition of frame '-1' is the reverse-complement of the set of codons used in frame 1. (Frame -2 is the set of codons used by frame 2, similarly frames -3 and 3). This is a common standard, used by the Staden package and other programs. If you prefer to define frame '-1' as using the set of codons starting with the last codon of the sequence, then set this to be true. Default value: N
-outseq seqoutall
Bugs can be reported to the Debian Bug Tracking system (http://bugs.debian.org/emboss), or directly to the EMBOSS developers (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=93650&atid=605031).
transeq is fully documented via the tfm(1) system.
