Thnaks.
That is nicer than my hand made back trans dictionary:

tdict={"A":("GCT","GCC","GCA","GCG"),"R":("CGT","CGC","CGA","CGG","AGA","AGG"),\
       "N":("AAT","ACC"),"D":("GAT","GAC"),"C":("TGT","TGC"),"Q":("CAA","CAG"),\
       "E":("GAA","GAG"),"G":("GGT","GGC","GGA","GGG"),"H":("CAT","CAC"),\
       "I":("ATT","ATC","ATA"),"L":("TTA","TTG","CTT","CTC","CTA","CTG"),\
       "K":("AAA","AAG"),"M":("AUG"),"F":("TTT","TTC"),"P":\
       ("CCT","CCC","CCA","CCG"),"S":("TCT","TCC","TCA","TCG","AGT","AGC"),\
       "T":("ACT","ACC","ACA","ACG"),"W":("TGG"),"Y":("TAT","TAC"),\
       "V":("GTT","GTC","GTA","GTG")}

And yours is better since allows to construct a back dict using
another translation table.

Best,
SB.
