[ensembl-dev] Translations

[Sam Seaver]

Dear ensembl-dev,

A colleague has discovered that in a few of the plant genomes, the
underlying DNA sequence of a CDS may have some embedded stop codons.
He subsequently found that the resulting translation, as performed by
Ensembl, ignores these completely.

We were wondering what, if any, other problems are encountered when
translating plant genes, and what the Ensembl translation code does to
address these?

Thanks
Sam
