[Biojava-l] Sequence Translation

[Girish Dhakephalkar]

Hi,

I'm a student of comp science and am writing a small program to implement the basic DNA sequence manipulations.

I would like to know how to implement a codon as a symbol.
In the docs, it is mentioned that a codon can be represented 
as {DNAxDNAxDNA}. How do I translate this into code?

My basic problem is to make a module for translation of a DNA 
sequence into a protein. So any other help on that front would also be appreciated.

Also, I would like to know if there is any way to incorporate 
multiple sequence alignment in the program using Biojava. 

Thanx...

-Girish.
