Reading Frames Information
Translation can begin at any of three positions on the RNA sequence. These are called reading frames.
Forward Frames
+1: Starts from the first nucleotide.
+2: Starts from the second nucleotide.
+3: Starts from the third nucleotide.
All Frames Information
View the translation for all three forward reading frames.

Translation Process
The process of translation from RNA to protein involves reading codons (three-nucleotide sequences) and translating them into amino acids.
Key Points
- Translation starts at a start codon (usually AUG).
- Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid.
- Translation stops at a stop codon.
- The resulting sequence of amino acids forms a protein.
Genetic Codes
Most RNA sequences use the standard genetic code. For vertebrate mitochondrial RNA, choose the mitochondrial code to apply different assignments for some codons.
Available codes
- Standard Genetic Code
- Vertebrate Mitochondrial Code
