Display Modes for DNA and Protein translations
pressing the 'MODE' button alternates the display between 'DNA Only' and 'Translated' mode
In 'Translated Mode' amino acids are displayed directly below each line of DNA Sequence.
Single CDS mode'
when 'translate set ORF only' is selected in the 'sequence view controls' panel, translation start and stop points can be set by placing the cursor, right clicking, and selecting 'Set translation start/stop' from the pop up menu, or by clicking on an Open reading Frame (ORF) on the 'ORF' Map.
You can 'edit' the protein sequence by selecting an amino acid with the mouse and typing in the single letter code for the replacement amino acid.
A pop up window displays the choice of codons for the new residue together with codon usage data if loaded.
Following selection of a codon the DNA sequence and protein translation are updated.
In addition a protein translation may also be displayed in the bottom display window by pressing the 'Protein' button on the main windows button panel or in an entirely separate window by selecting 'New Protein Only Window' from the 'Protein' pull down menu.
Multiple and/or Spliced CDS mode'
When 'Translate all CDSs' is selected in the 'sequence view controls' panel, translations are provided for annotations that are designated as 'CDSs'
