SeqBuilder Pro lets you view the translation for part or all of an open nucleotide sequence or create a new protein sequence based on the translation of a nucleotide sequence.
To display translations for an open nucleotide sequence:
) and make a selection from the Reading Frame sub-menu. 
After displaying a translation, you can modify it as follows:
- To hide a translation strand, right-click on it and choose Hide Translation Strand.
- To create a translation for only the selected portion of the sequence, in the Sequence view, click on the Translations and ORFs tool (
![]()
) and choose Create Translation. Type a name and press OK.
- To control the display and numbering of the translation, use the Translations table located in the Settings panel.
- To toggle between displaying amino acids as 1- or 3-letter codes, choose Sequence > Translation Display > Three Letter Code or Sequence > Translation Display > One Letter Code.
To save the translation of a DNA/RNA sequence as a new protein sequence:
- To create a new protein sequence from one nucleotide sequence, see Create a New Sequence.
- To create new protein sequences from multiple nucleotide sequences simultaneously, see Create translations of multiple sequences
To change or modify the genetic code used for translations:
See the topics Choose the genetic code and Modify the genetic code.
The following video provides a brief walkthrough of translation in SeqBuilder Pro.
