Translation Map

How to show DNA with its translation

1. Paste a DNA sequence, as plain text or FASTA.
2. Choose one reading frame or all three, the genetic code and one- or three-letter codes.
3. The translation is lined up above the codons, with positions on the left.

Frequently asked questions

Is my sequence uploaded?

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

What is a reading frame?

One of the three ways to split a sequence into codons, starting at the first, second or third base. Usually only one of them encodes the protein.

How do I see the frames on the other strand?

Reverse-complement the sequence with Reverse Complement first, then map the result.
