Translation tables

Translation tables are also referred to as 'Codon tables' or 'Genetic codes'.

ARB currently knows the translation tables as defined by https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Utils/wprintgc.cgi (last update of the Genetic Codes: Nov. 18, 2016)

ARB uses a database field called 'transl_table' which contains the genetic code number. It normally occurs together with 'codon_start' in

• species (see ´Realign DNA´) or
• gene (see ´What are Genes?´)

'Mold/Protozoan/Coelenterate Mitochondrial Code' and 'Mycoplasma/Spiroplasma Code' are identical (genetic code 4). For that reason the latter has been removed and the combined name has been abbreviated as 'Coelenterate Mitochondrial + Mycoplasma/Spiroplasma'.
