Hi Luis,

So you have a FASTA file containing CDS nucleotide sequences,
and you want to turn this into a FASTA file containing translated
protein sequences? Have you looked at the documentation?

http://biopython.org/DIST/docs/tutorial/Tutorial.html
http://biopython.org/DIST/docs/tutorial/Tutorial.pdf

In particular, in the Cookbook chapter there is a section
"Translating a FASTA file of CDS entries".

If not, what form do you have your CDS data in? For example,
do you have an annotated GenBank file, or a tabular file of
co-ordinates and strands, or a GFF3 file, or something else?
