RNAGroupings

These script(s) find the starting and stopping points of RNA Translation of nucleotides.

What exactly does it do?

Say you have the translated line of UACAUGUCAUAA.

The program does exactly this:

• Find the starting point of the translation
  • always AUG
• Find the stopping point of the translation
  • divisble by 3 as translation goes in groupings of 3.
  • always UAG, UAA or UGA

What does it return?

It returns a list of the actual translation process from AUG to either UAA, UAG or UGA. The first three letters are the starting point and the last 3 the ending point.

So from: UACAUGUCAUA we get: AUGUCAUAA
