Genetic Codon Table (DNA / RNA)

Translate an in-frame DNA or RNA sequence to amino acids using the standard genetic code.

Run the calculator

Example

You enter

Sequence (in-frame) AUGGCCUAA
Sequence type rna

You get

Translated to RNA AUGGCCUAA

Details, formula, and sources

Standard 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.

Standard genetic code (universal). IUPAC-IUB amino-acid one- and three-letter codes.

Public domain reference. Available in every introductory molecular-biology textbook and at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.

Estimate 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.

Field names used by the API: sequence, sequence_type, rna_sequence
