Translate part of a nucleotide sequence
If you want to make separate translations of all the coding regions of a nucleotide sequence, you can check the option: "Translate CDS/ORF..." in the translation dialog (see figure 19.5).
If you want to translate a specific coding region, which is annotated on the sequence, use the following procedure:
Open the nucleotide sequence | right-click the ORF or CDS annotation | Translate CDS/ORF... ()
A dialog opens to offer you the following choices (figure 19.6): either a specific genetic code translation table, or to extract the existing translation from annotation (if the annotation contains information about the translation). Choose the option needed and click Translate.

The CDS and ORF annotations are colored yellow as default.
