This function takes a DNA sequence as input and translates it in all six reading frames.

Usage

dna_to_protein(sequence)

Arguments

sequence

A character string representing a DNA sequence.

Value

A list of character strings representing the translated protein sequences in all six frames.

Examples

sequence <- "ATCGAGCTAGCTAGCTAGCTAGCT"
dna_to_protein(sequence)
