Hi all,

I am try to make the script to tranlate DNA to protein.
I found the script in internet, and I tried to mix that script to make the result in the colums but I was not seccessful.
Would you please show me solve this problems. For Ex:

I hope Out put :
Ref_aa   Mul_aa  Ref_Pro   Mul_pro   infor
AGA	AAA      R          K       change
CCA	CCT      P          P       same
GCA	ACA      A          T       same
GCA	ACA      A          T       same
print "\n\n\t\#################### DNA 2 PROTEIN #################### \n\n";
print "This script will convert your DNA sequence to PROTEIN Sequence\n\n";
 print 'ENTER THE DNA SEQUENCE THAT COMPARE WITH TRIPRET_1ST := '; 
     	my $DNA_filename = <STDIN>; 
	chomp $DNA_filename;
	unless (open(DNAFILE, $DNA_filename)) 
	{ 
    	die 'Cannot open file "' . $DNA_filename . '"' . "\n\n"; 
	} 
@DNA = <DNAFILE>;
close DNAFILE;
$DNA = join( '', @DNA);
print " \nThe original DNA file is:\n$DNA \n";
$DNA =~ s/\s//g;


 open(BASE,">Ref_aa1.txt");
my $protein='';
my $codon;
for(my $i=0;$i<(length($DNA)-2);$i+=3)
{

$codon=substr($DNA,$i,3);
$protein.=&codon2aa($codon);
$out=$protein;
}
print (BASE "Ref_aa\t   Mul_aa \t Ref_Pro\t   Mul_pro\n ");
print BASE $DNA."\t";
print BASE $out."\n\n";
close (BASE);

I don't see how your script decides whether to print 'change' or 'same'? What is the rule that determines this?

I sorry I forget to log out so I did not answer your question. I do not know how to do the script to print 'change' or 'same' in this case. If the Ref_pro = mul_pro print same. another print 'change'.

The rule that determin in this case :
If Ref_pro = mul_pro print 'same'
else print 'change'.

#!/usr/bin/perl;
use strict;
use warnings;

my %codon2proteins = build_hash();

my $dna_filename = 'dna.txt';

open my $dna_fh, '<', $dna_filename or die "Failed to open $dna_filename: $!";

while (my $rec = <$dna_fh>){
    chomp($rec);
    my ($ref, $mul) = split /\s+/, $rec;
    my $ref_pro = convert_codon2prot($ref);
    my $mul_pro = convert_codon2prot($mul);
    my $info = compare_pros($ref_pro, $mul_pro);
    print "$ref\t$mul\t$ref_pro\t$mul_pro\t$info\n";
}

sub compare_pros{
    my ($r, $m) = @_;
    if ($r eq $m){
        return 'same';
    }
    else {
        return 'change';
    }
}

Outputs

AGA	AAA	R	K	change
CCA	CCT	P	P	same
GCA	ACA	A	T	change
GCA	ACA	A	T	change
etc...

Thank you very much for your help. It works very well. Could you show me how to analyze the data DNA1.txt If I want to add position colum in the out put?

Out put
Posi   Ref   Mul   pro_ref  pro_mul   infor
1      AGA   AAA	R	K	change
2      CCA   CCT	P	P	same
etc......

You could create another variable to hold the position value and include that variable in the string that you print.

Instead of my ($ref, $mul) = split /\s+/, $rec; you could have my ($pos, $ref, $mul) = split /\s+/, $rec;

Thank you very much. But with data 'DNA.txt' the script have error "bad codon $ref".
I mix the error with

while (<$dna_fh>){
    next unless /^\s*\d/; 
         
    my ($pos, $ref, $mul) =  split ;

Could you show me what the diffirent of the script?

You need a chomp; statement before the statement that does the split. Otherwise the last codon on each line will include a newline character and so will not match any codon in your hash.
