Translating cDNA Sequences into Protein Sequence?

[luisfigo]

Hi didnt know where to post this as its mainly a bioinformatics question.

I currently have a cDNA sequence and would like to know how I can translate it into protein sequence.

I know there is a ORF finder here:[Only registered users see links. ]

but The cDNA sequence is not in FASTA format So how can I use ORF finder and translate it into protein?

thanks

Hello there,
what format is your cDNA in? You can either convert it into FASTA or find the FASTA at the NCBI pubmed if you do a nucleotide search for your cDNA


If it's short you could translate it also by hand. There are many online tools for going from DNA to protein here:
