# Microgram: dna-translate-codon

`station__algovigilance__microgram-dna-translate-codon` · native (always callable) · domain `algovigilance` · pv-relevance `pv-core`

Translate a 3-nucleotide codon (e.g., 'ATG') to its amino acid using the standard genetic code. ATG = Methionine (start codon). TAA/TAG/TGA = Stop codons.

## Agent metadata

- `idempotent`: true
- `read_only`: true
- `expected_latency_ms`: unknown (not yet contract-tested)
