NAME

       2ft - 2-frame translation of a DNA sequence into protein

SYNOPSIS

       2ft [ -rs ] < seq-library-file

DESCRIPTION

       2ft  converts  both strands of one or several DNA sequences into so-called "interleaved frame-translated"
       DNA sequences.  An "interleaved frame-translated" DNA sequence is an amino acid  sequence  of  translated
       overlapping  codons.  For instance, the DNA sequence "ATGGCA" consisting of four overlapping codons would
       be translated into the amino acid sequence "MWGA".  Stop codons are represented by character  "O".   seq-
       library-file contains one or several sequences in Pearson/Fasta format.

       This program is used for searching genomic or EST sequence databases with frame-search profiles generated
       by pftools program ptof.

OPTIONS

       -r     Translate only reversed (antisense) strand.

       -s     Translate only sense strand.

EXAMPLES

       See manual pages of pftools program ptof.
