Software Tool to Translate DNA to Protein

Hello,

I'm looking for any software tool to translate DNA sequences (big fasta files) to Protein with all 6 frames in the Standard Code. I tried the Expasy translate tool, EMBOSS Transeq,... but my files are too big (68.1 MG). I'm using a mac!

Thank you in advance

You could give seqkit a go, can be run using Windows. Something like this should work:

seqkit translate <YOURFILE> --frame 6 --append-frame

For more info read the documentation here:https://bioinf.shenwei.me/seqkit/usage/#translate

You can install EMBOSS locally (unix machine required) and run transeq that way.
