CellCode-Project

Cell Code is a bioinformatics project that simulates cellular transcription and translation processes. It converts DNA sequences into RNA and then into aminoacids, providing a clear visualization of these biological processes.

Features

✔ DNA → RNA transcription
✔ RNA → amino acid translation (3 reading frames)
✔ Supports FASTA & FASTQ file formats
✔ Three output modes:

• complete (DNA + RNA + amino acids)
• dna (DNA sequences only)
• rna (DNA & RNA sequences)

Usage

1. Place your sequence file in the project directory
2. Update the file_path in cellcode.py:

   file_path = 'your_sequence.fasta'  # or .fastq

3. Run the script
   python cellcode.py

Technical Notes

✔ Implements codon translation table (64 codons)
✔ Handles sequence offsets for reading frame analysis
✔ Complexity: O(k×n) for k sequences of average length n
