# bp\_make\_mrna\_protein(1p)

Convert an input mRNA/cDNA sequence into protein

## NAME

bp\_make\_mrna\_protein - Convert an input mRNA/cDNA sequence into protein

## DESCRIPTION

Convert an input mRNA/cDNA sequence into protein using **translate()**

```
  -f/--frame           Specifies frame [0,1,2]
```

One can also specify:

```
  -t/--terminator      Stop Codon character (defaults to '*')
  -u/--unknown         Unknown Protein character (defaults to 'X')
  -cds/--fullcds       Expected Full CDS (with start and Stop codon)
  -throwOnError        Throw error if no Full CDS (defaults to 0)
  -if/--format         Input format (defaults to FASTA/Pearson)
  -of/--format         Output format (defaults to FASTA/Pearson)
  -o/--output          Output Filename (defaults to STDOUT)
  -i/--input           Input Filename (defaults to STDIN)
  -ct/--codontable     Codon table to use (defaults to '1')
```
