Return nucleotide codon to amino acid mapping

Syntax 

Map = geneticcode(GeneticCode)
geneticcode(GeneticCode)

Arguments

GeneticCode

Enter a code number or code name from the table Genetic Code below. If you use a code name, you can truncate the name to the first two characters of the name.

Description

Map = geneticcode returns a structure with a mapping of nucleotide codons to amino acids for the standard genetic code.

geneticcode(GeneticCode)returns a structure of the mapping for alternate genetic codes, where GeneticCode is either the transl_table (code) number from the NCBI Genetics web page (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Utils/wprintgc.cgi?mode=c) or one of the supported names in the genetic code table above.

Examples

List the mapping of nucleotide codons to amino acids for a specific genetic code.

wormcode = geneticcode('Flatworm Mitochondrial');
