- Method Detail
  - getTranslator
```
public static Translator getTranslator()
```
    Factory method to get reference to Translator.
    
    Returns:
    
    Translator singleton
  - translateDNA
```
public String translateDNA(String dnaseq)
```
    Translates a DNA sequence. Assume the sequence is upper case with no ambiguous bases.
    Currently, there is no need to translate more than a single codon. However, some portions of the code are trying to translate DNA that is not a multiple of 3 nt long (from indel code). Therefore, we will translate as much as possible here. This may need refactoring in the future. (TODO).
    
    Parameters:
    
    dnaseq - A DNA sequence that is to be translated
    
    Returns:
    
    corresonding aminoacid sequence
  - translateDNA3
```
public String translateDNA3(String dnaseq)
```
  - toLong
```
public String toLong(String shortAASeq)
```
    Parameters:
    
    shortAASeq - amino acid sequence with one-character representation of amino acids
    
    Returns:
    
    String with long versions of short AA seqs.
  - toLong
```
public String toLong(char c)
```
    Parameters:
    
    c - short amino acid representation to conver to long representation
    
    Returns:
    
    String with long versions of short AA char.
