Translation of DNA to an Amino Acid Sequence

This tool translates DNA or RNA into an amino acid sequence, which may be a protein. It takes into account a non-coding region at the start and will terminate when it sees a stop codon. This is typically what is found in mRNA records in GenBank. It may or may not work on other nucleotide sequence depending on the continuity of the coding region. It will not take into account the presence of introns (non-coding regions) within the sequence, which is common in the raw DNA for humans.

Help and Biology Background

Enter a DNA or an RNA Sequence to translate to an Amino Acid Sequence (replace sample data in text area)
(a = adenine, g = guanine, c = cytosine, u = uracil in RNA or t, thymine in DNA) ?

Or

Upload an mRNA file in FASTA format ?.   Sample mRNA FASTA files: HD (starting 146), SCN3A (starting 472), NDUFS1 (starting 128), MOG (starting 179), CNGA1 (starting 9), IL6ST (starting 256), MAS1 (starting 15), CFTR. (starting 133).
