Hi!
I had sent the message attached earlier and received no reply. Is there no
interest in the modifications suggested for backtranseq or did the message not
reach anyone, which is possible due to the unreliability of our mail system.

Subject: requests for backtranseq
Hi!
I would like to make some suggestions to enhance the utility of backtranseq:
- At present backtranseq uses the most preferred codon exclusively for a given
amino acid. It would be nice if it could use all synonymous codons with
probabilities defined by their usage. For example, codon usage for Ala in
humans is 0.10, 0.22, 0.28 and 0.40 for GCG, GCA, GCT and GCC respectively. So,
all 4 codons could be used for Ala, with GCC being used most often and GCG the
least number of times.
- Allow for uniform usage of all synonymous codons, for example to carry out an
in-silico experiment by eliminating codon preference.
- Also, I find if I give backtranseq a file in multi-fasta format, it
translates only the first sequence.
Thanks.
