Genetic Codon Table (DNA / RNA)
Translate an in-frame DNA or RNA sequence to amino acids using the standard genetic code.
Example
You enter
- Sequence (in-frame) AUGGCCUAA
- Sequence type rna
You get
- Translated to RNA AUGGCCUAA
Checked against published worked examples from: Standard genetic code (universal).
Details, formula, and sources
Formula or tableStandard genetic-code lookup: each in-frame triplet of RNA bases (A / C / G / U) maps to an amino acid or a STOP codon. DNA sequences are translated by replacing T with U before lookup.
Source and editionStandard genetic code (universal). IUPAC-IUB amino-acid one- and three-letter codes.
Free accessPublic domain reference. Available in every introductory molecular-biology textbook and at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.
What governsEstimate only. Readability formulas and similar metrics are derived from a representative population and have known edge-case noise. The classroom teacher governs final text selection, grade placement, and assessment decisions.
