[EMBOSS] extract translations from genbank file

[Karin Lagesen]

Hello.

I am trying to extract the protein translations from a genbank file. I 
am managing to get the proteins, but I would like to get the information 
about the translation out from the file too.

Example:

      CDS             complement(93..1919)                  		


/translation="MTLENTSPNPSQISLNLSGGIALGAYMAGVCFELVRQARKDNSP
LLIDLITGASAGAMTGAITAYYLLNREISNTEYESQNILQRAWVEKADMKDIDTVFAI 
EDYRQVLNNLFKSQNESLLSQKGIKNIANLITENTDQLKVHQPLALVMTVTNLQGLLV
/product="hypothetical protein"

I have found two programs that could solve this problem. Coderet does 
give me the protein sequences, but the fasta description lines of the 
proteins are not easily relatable back to the genbank file.

Extractfeat gives me sensible description lines, but for now I have not 
been able to make it give me the protein, and not the DNA sequence.

....


So. Are there any other programs, or options/switches to the ones that I 
have mentioned that I should be using?


TIA,
