Splitting a 1 x1 cell array every three characters?

I have a 1 x 1 cell array that is a short DNA codon sequence. I want to turn this sequence into a matrix with each column containing a single codon. How can I split this long string every three characters, and make it into a matrix?

A 1x1 cell array is not much of an array - there's just one element! Anyway, try this:
stringInside = ca{1}; % Extract string from inside the cell array.
numChars = length(stringInside) % Get number of characters in the string. Must be a multiple of 3
% Reshape into a 3 column character array.
charArray = reshape(stringInside, numChars/3, 3)

This is how I would do it:
B = {'A' 'T' 'C' 'G'}; % Bases
I = randi(4, 1, 12); % Sequence Index
S = {B(I)}; % Linear Sequence
S{:} % Display (Optional)
CM = reshape(S{:}, 3, []) % Codons In Columns
ans =
'G' 'G' 'G' 'A' 'T' 'A' 'A' 'T' 'C' 'C' 'C' 'C'
CM =
'G' 'A' 'A' 'C'
'G' 'T' 'T' 'C'
'G' 'A' 'C' 'C'
This is random, so running it will give different results each time, but the codons will match the order of those in the linear sequence.
