dna2codon: Translate nucleic acid sequences into codons

Description

The function transforms dna2codon DNA sequences to codon sequences, codon2dna transform the other way. dna2codon translates nucleotide to amino acids using the function trans.

Usage

dna2codon(x, codonstart = 1, code = 1, ambiguity = "---", ...)
codon2dna(x)
dna2aa(x, codonstart = 1, code = 1)

Value

The functions return an object of class phyDat.

Arguments

x

An object containing sequences.

codonstart

an integer giving where to start the translation. This should be 1, 2, or 3, but larger values are accepted and have for effect to start the translation further within the sequence.

code

The ncbi genetic code number for translation (see details). By default the standard genetic code is used.

ambiguity

character for ambiguous character and no contrast is provided.

...

further arguments passed to or from other methods.
