Transcription and Translation: parameters and notes

See the tutorial for usage and examples.

Each function includes its purpose, API, inputs, outputs, example code and result description. Prepare any required credentials, local files and optional dependencies; remote results vary with database releases and query time.

Translate forward reading frames and find the longest ORF

dnakit.databases.dna_translate_reading_frames(*, operation=None, sequence, frame=None, genetic_code=None, verbose=True)

Parameter	Type	Required / default	Description and constraints
operation	string	None	Operation type
sequence	string	Required	DNA sequence (A, T, G, C only). Case insensitive. Spaces and newlines are stripped.
frame	string | null	None	Reading frame to translate: '1', '2', '3', or 'all' (default). Frame 1 starts at position 0, frame 2 at position 1, frame 3 at position 2.
genetic_code	integer | null	None	NCBI genetic code number. Only 1 (the standard code) is implemented; any other value is rejected with an error rather than translated with the standard table. Alternative code tables (2 = vertebrate mitochondrial, 3 = yeast mitochondrial, 11 = bacterial, etc.) are not supported by this tool.
verbose	bool	True	Progress flag.
