Analyze a translation in both the forward and reverse orientations
Compare the biochemical properties of a translation in the forward and reverse direction. When viewing a DNA sequence, create a translation overlay over your region of interest. Right-click on the translation, then select Analyze Translation, which will display a Biochemical Properties tab. From there, you can toggle between the Forward and Reverse orientation at the top of the page for easy comparison.
