copied!<p>It looks like the problem is two-fold. Your outer for loop doesn't go far enough to catch the very end of the dna string. Secondly, it appears that reversing individual codons doesn't work and that you have to take the entire (givenPeptideLength * 3) character string before getting the complement. The following changes output the strings you put in your example so I'm hopeful that it does what you want. It has the benefit of being much more concise as well.</p> <pre><code>using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Text.RegularExpressions; using System.Linq; using
