Description

Motivation: enable basic "next-relative" features

Options:

  • translation table / codon start
    • specify manually
    • use existing (from species)
    • do not specify (=use all) ⇒ DNA seq will degenerate more
  • degeneration modes:
    1. for each amino acid, mix all codons translating into the AA using IUPAC.
      (will result in "correct" DNA sequences, but usefulness for relative search will be low - due to IUPAC/'N's)
    2. always use same codon for each protein.
      (DNA sequences will look accurate (i.e. have no IUPACs) where they are fakes, but relative search will ml lead to better results)
