Description CHECKTRANS application details page

Reports STOP codons and ORF statistics of a protein

Reads in a protein sequence containing stops, and writes a report of anyopen reading frames (continuous protein sequence with no stops) that aregreater than a minimum size. The default minimum ORF size is 100residues. It writes out any ORF sequences.

The input sequence might typically have been produced by transeq.

Note that if you have only translated a nucleic sequence in one frame,checktrans will miss possible ORFs in other frames. You have togive checktrans translations in all three (six?) frames in orderfor it to be effective at finding all possible ORFs.

Literature None.

It was rewritten by Gary Williams(gwilliam@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk)to outputthe sequence data to a single file in the conventional EMBOSS style.
