Sequence Translation

To translate DNA alignment to amino acid:

segul sequence translate -d [path-to-alignment-files] -f [sequence-format-keyword]

The app will default to the standard code table (NCBI Table 1). Use the --table option to set the translation table. For example, to translate DNA sequences using NCBI Table 2 (vertebrate MtDNA):

segul sequence translate -d loci/ -f fasta --table 2

You can also set the reading frame using the --rf option:

segul sequence translate -d loci/ -f fasta --table 2 --rf 2

To show all the table options, use the --show-tables flag:

segul sequence translate --show-tables
