Hi Khalil,

I'm not 100% sure what you want here. If you just want to know the potential 
number of codons on both strands of DNA then it would be (length / 3)*2. If 
what you are actually asking for is how many codons code for an amino acid then 
you would have to perform work similar to the transcription engine in BJ3. All 
codon tables are available from the IUPACParser class & then it would be up to 
you to use a WindowedSequence over the top of your NT sequence to get the 
windows or SequenceMixin.nonOverlappingKmers() which shortcuts the creation of 
the WindowedSequence.

Regards,

Andy
