Complement of a Strand

Kwscreenshot1.jpg
  • Shown in green: the following command is used to open the file (using prokaryote.txt as an example).
cat prokaryote.txt
  • Shown in red: the following command is used to sequence the complementary strand (in the 5' -> 3' direction - thus the "rev" command).
cat prokaryote.txt | sed "y/atgc/tacg/" | rev

Reading Frames

The original sequence in the prokaryote.txt file will be assumed to be the top strand for this exercise.

+1, +2, and +3 Frames

Kwscreenshot2.jpg
  • Shown in green: to separate the strand into codons (resulting in the +1 frame):
cat prokaryote.txt | sed "s/.../& /g"
  • Shown in red: to convert to the mRNA sequence (treating the DNA stand as the mRNA-like strand):
cat prokaryote.txt | sed "s/.../& /g" | sed "y/t/u/"
  • Shown in blue: to translate this mRNA sequence (yielding the +1 frame):
cat prokaryote.txt | sed "s/.../& /g" | sed "y/t/u/" | sed -f genetic-code.sed
  • For the +2 frame, the final pipe can be slightly altered:
cat prokaryote.txt | sed "s/^.//g" | sed "s/.../& /g" | sed "y/t/u/" | sed -f genetic-code.sed
  • And similarly, for the +3 frame:
cat prokaryote.txt | sed "s/^..//g" | sed "s/.../& /g" | sed "y/t/u/" | sed -f genetic-code.sed

-1, -2, and -3 Frames

  • For the -1 frame, open the file as usual, and then use the pipe from "Complement of a Strand" so that the commands after it will be applied to the complementary strand (instead of the original strand). Then, add the same pipe used for the +1 strand:
cat prokaryote.txt | sed "y/atgc/tacg/" | rev | sed "s/.../& /g" | sed "y/t/u/" | sed -f genetic-code.sed
  • As before, the -2 and -3 frames can be found by making a single adjustment to the pipe for the -1 frame. For the -2 frame:
 cat prokaryote.txt | sed "y/atgc/tacg/" | rev | sed "s/^.//g" | sed "s/.../& /g" | sed "y/t/u/" | sed -f genetic-code.sed
  • And for the -3 frame:
 cat prokaryote.txt | sed "y/atgc/tacg/" | rev | sed "s/^..//g" | sed "s/.../& /g" | sed "y/t/u/" | sed -f genetic-code.sed
