Hi Lisa, thanks for the email.

Jalview has a cDNA translate function which 'magically appears' under 
the 'Calculations' menu when you're working with a dna sequence.

Reverse and complement will be added to the todo list - they are both 
fairly easy to implement, but I suspect the first attempt will be very 
simple indeeed - ie :

  1. select a region (or apply to whole alignment)
  2. apply reverse or complement to create a new alignment containing 
the result.

Is that the kind of basic functionality you mean ?

not as far as I know - it would be great to hear about it if they have.

Jim.
