codcopy

 

Function

Copy and reformat a codon usage table

Description

codcopy reads and writes a codon usage table. Rather than a copy utility, it is intended as a format conversion utility so that codon usage data can be exported to other applications that support only a single format. This program supports all available codon usage input and output formats.

Algorithm

Usage
