Strand aware gff3 to protein fasta

Hi everyone,

I know there are lots of program which can translate the nucleotide fasta to protein fasta in all 6 frames or the frame we desire. But is there any program which can take genome fasta + gff3 table and give protein fasta as output by taking the strand of each sequence also into consideration??

Thanks, Karthic

What exactly do you mean?

translating the CDS present in the GFF3 file into a correct protein (correct reading frame, strand , ... )? If so, there should be plenty tools that does this (== it is/should be the default normally).

A few tool examples that come to mind: AGAT, getFasta from bedtools, ...

Thanks for your reply. I have used bedtools fasta, I can force strandedness but it outputs only as nucleotide fasta. Not sure about AGAT, going to install. But from the list of program names, I am unable to find the requisite one.

I see, if you're able to get to the nucleotide sequence you can run those through eg EMBOSS transeq to get to the protein (AA ) sequence.

Though I can't directly point you to the suitable AGAT subprogram, I would be very surprised if it can't do this.
