DNA Translate Reading Frames

Translate a DNA sequence to protein in all 3 forward reading frames and identify the longest ORF. Uses the standard genetic code (NCBI Code 1). Returns protein sequences for each frame, longest ORF per frame, and the best frame with longest uninterrupted protein. Use for: reading frame analysis, finding the correct ORF in an unknown sequence, comparing all three frames.
