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

  1. Shown in green: to separate the strand into codons (resulting in the +1 frame):
cat prokaryote.txt | sed "s/.../& /g"
  1. 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/"
  1. Shown in blue: to translate this mRNA sequence:
cat prokaryote.txt | sed "s/.../& /g" | sed "y/t/u/" | sed -f genetic-code.sed
