By default, all DNA sequence translation into protein is using the standard translation code 1. For some organisms or organelles, the translation should be done with a different table. This can be assigned to individual maps or to all maps of a map set using the command

edit translation_code <mapset> [<code> [-f]]

The parameter <mapset> is given as MapSetId or path, as usual. Without other arguments, the command will list all the maps of the given map set with their corresponding translation code values. The code can be changed for individual maps or a range of lines (1..5):

Select maps by [lineNo] (0,2,10..20)? 6
Enter new translation code? 11

Do you want to select other maps? (Y/N) N
Update the map translation codes in the database? (Y/N) Y
Map set translation codes updated

To update the translation code for all maps of the map set from the command line, add the translation code to the parameter list, optionally supplementing it with the force flag -f to skip the confirmation questions.

In Persephone, the translation code used for producing the protein sequence is listed in the gene properties form:
