Choose the reading frame and how many codons to put on each line.
The codons appear separated by spaces. Copy output or Download saves the result.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to leftover bases?

Bases before the chosen frame and one or two bases left at the end that do not make a whole codon are left out.

Is my sequence uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser, so your sequences never leave your device.
