Part of the input page of the “Babylon” tool. Selecting a genotype from the list on the left will populate the nucleotide positions for each protein with default values from [10]. However, each of these positions can be edited, as necessary. The number of amino acids for each protein is determined automatically from the nucleotide values. An “Include” field for each protein specifies if it should be included in the output. The amino acid output is obtained by selecting the appropriate check-box on the input page. The “-” and “?” characters, which may be present in input sequence data, will be processed by the tool as an “N” character if the appropriate check-box is selected. It may be possible to translate nucleotides to amino acids when “-” and “?” characters are replaced with “N” characters.
