This function allows the user to change the genetic used in all the options. The codes are defined as a set of codon tables stored in the directory tables/gcodes distributed with the package. The current list of codes and their codon table file names is shown at the end of this section.
The user interface consists of the dialogue shown below. The user selects the required code by clicking on it, and then clicking "OK" or "OK permanent". The former choice selects the code for immediate use, and the latter also selects it for future uses of the program.

When the dialogue is left the codon table selected will be displayed, as below, in the Output Window.
