Hi! I'm new..

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and I am planning on being an active member of this community.

I am working on some projects and right now I am looking for a tool that will reverse translate a consensus pattern from protein into a oligonucleotide sequence. I have been told that it exists, I just haven't found it yet!

Anyone has any suggestions?

Thanks!

There are many ways to reverse translate a sequence. If you only have a few seqeunces, you can use an online tool such as this one: http://www.bioinformatics.org/sms2/rev_trans.html

If you have many sequences that need to be processed, I would look at writing some scripts to perform the task.

Hi kcchan,

I have looked into that tool before, thank you. But I am looking for a tool that will translate a motif pattern such as e.g "C-x(6)-C-x(6)". This tool should allow for degeneracy when obtaining the nucleotide sequence.

Do I have permission to create a thread with such question?

Thanks!
