Random Coding DNA

How to generate a random coding sequence

  1. Set the length in codons, the number of sequences and the genetic code.
  2. Click Generate.
  3. Each sequence starts with ATG, has no stop codons inside and ends with a stop codon.

Frequently asked questions

Can I translate the result?

Yes. Paste it into Translate DNA to Protein with the same genetic code and it translates to a protein with no internal stops.

Why choose a genetic code?

Codes differ in which codons are stops. Choosing the right one keeps stops out of the middle for the organism you use: TGA, for example, is tryptophan in vertebrate mitochondria.

Are the sequences stored anywhere?

No. They are made in your browser and are gone when you close the page, unless you copy or download them.
