In a DNA sequence, start codons and stop codons delimit a coding region of a gene –a.k.a. coding DNA sequence (CDS)–, which is the part of a gene that is translated into a protein.
Any CDS starts with the universal start codon ATG and
ends with the first occurrence of a stop codon (either TAA,
TAG, or TGA).
Write a program that, given a DNA sequence, writes the gene coding regions it contains.
A sequence of codons (triplets of A, T, C, G), which may contain zero or more CDS delimited by start/stop codons.
The input sequence may appear in several lines, with one or more whitespaces or newlines between one codon and the next.
Assume that the CDS in the sequence –if any– are well-formed. That is, if a start codon appears, an end codon will appear later before the sequence ends or the start codon appears again. No end codon will appear if no start codon has previously appeared.
A line with the codons formed by each CDS found in the input DNA sequence.
If no CDS is found in the sequence, the output is "No CDS found".
