How to convert a set of DNA sequences into protein sequences using python programming?
<p>I am using python to create a program that converts a set of DNA sequences into amino acid (protein) sequences. I then need to find a specific subsequence, and count the number of sequences  in which this specific subsequence is present. This is the code I have so far:</p>

<pre><code>#Open cDNA_sequences file and read in line by line
with open('cDNA_sequences.csv', 'r') as results:

    for line in results:

        columns = line.rstrip("\n").split(",") #remove end of line characters and split commas to produce a list
        ensemblID = columns[0] #ensemblID is first element in our list
        dna_seq = columns[1] #dna_seq is second element in our list
        genetic code = {


        "UUU":"F", "UUC":"F", "UUA":"L", "UUG":"L",
        "UCU":"S", "UCC":"s", "UCA":"S", "UCG":"S",
        "UAU":"Y", "UAC":"Y", "UAA":"STOP", "UAG":"STOP",
        "UGU":"C", "UGC":"C", "UGA":"STOP", "UGG":"W",
        "CUU":"L", "CUC":"L", "CUA":"L", "CUG":"L",
        "CCU":"P", "CCC":"P", "CCA":"P", "CCG":"P",
        "CAU":"H", "CAC":"H", "CAA":"Q", "CAG":"Q",
        "CGU":"R", "CGC":"R", "CGA":"R", "CGG":"R",
        "AUU":"I", "AUC":"I", "AUA":"I", "AUG":"M",
        "ACU":"T", "ACC":"T", "ACA":"T", "ACG":"T",
        "AAU":"N", "AAC":"N", "AAA":"K", "AAG":"K",
        "AGU":"S", "AGC":"S", "AGA":"R", "AGG":"R",
        "GUU":"V", "GUC":"V", "GUA":"V", "GUG":"V",
        "GCU":"A", "GCC":"A", "GCA":"A", "GCG":"A",
        "GAU":"D", "GAC":"D", "GAA":"E", "GAG":"E",
        "GGU":"G", "GGC":"G", "GGA":"G", "GGG":"G",} #genetic code, telling into which amino acids the DNA triplets translate

        for i in range (0, len(dna_seq), 3):
            codon = dna_seq[i:i+3]
            protein += genetic_code [codon]
        print (protein)                    

    enterokinase_motif = "DDDDK"
    proline_motif = "DDDDKP"
    motif_number = 0
    if enterokinase_motif in line:
        motif_number = motif_number + 1;
    elif proline_number in line:
        motif_number = motif_number;
    else: 
        motif_number = motif_number
    print ("The number of sequences containing one or more enterokinase motifs is []".format(motif_number))
</code></pre>

<p>I am having trouble writing the code for the conversion of the DNA sequences to Protein Sequences. </p>
