Codon 64

Codon64 is a pilot project to test the feasibility of using codon codes (64 state alphabet) instead of amino acid codes (20 state alphabet) to manage and align sequences. Foundational tools and databases have been developed and are accessible from this page.

Databases

Swiss a collection of cdn encoded sequences traced back from SwissProt
Blocks a collection of conserved sequence blocks in cdn format
CUT a codon usage table for the Swiss collection
Matrix files derived from Blocks and used for alignments
