AltGenCode

Function AltGenCode - Use Alternative Translation Tables

Calling Sequence  AltGenCode(transl_table,codon)
Parameters
NameTypeDescription

transl_table integeralternative translation table
codon string3 DNA bases
Return Type  list
Globals AltGenCode_array,
Synopsis AltGenCode takes a 3 letter codon as an input and returns a list of the amino acid(s) for which the triplet codes. A codon has more than one translation when, in addition to its normal translation, it is used as an alternative start codon (M). Absent codons are not designated as such. They will return the translation of the standard genetic code. The translation tables are the same as those of the reference website. Additional initiation codons may be possible. See the website for more information and a list of the organisms that use each code.
