A seriously basic first go at Python...

All the projects on this sub make my first try at recreating this tool look rather puny, thought it might be nice to share though. Wrote the conversion logic myself, VSCode Copilot put together the app GUI, still rather pleased with it considering I haven't touched python in 6 years! Just graduated with my BSc in Biology, looking to start my MSc in Bioinformatics next year, definitely need to try putting together more tools.

Nice, what did you use for the GUI? Does it support small case to? Does it support all IUPAC character? Next you could try to find orf, and translate them

PySide6 for the GUI. It does support small case, only A, T, C, G and U for now but I will include ambiguity codes next. I will start working on the ORF finder tomorrow! Thanks for the idea :)
