ORF Open reading frame. A continuous sequence of nucleotide triplets (codons) in which each triplet codes for an amino acid.

ORF An open reading frame (ORF) corresponds to any nucleotide sequence that can potentially encode a protein.

Open reading frame (ORF)
A sequence of DNA following an initiation codon that does not contain a stop codon.

Open reading frame (ORF)
A sequence of DNA following an initiation codon that does not contain a stop codon. Detection of an open reading frame in DNA implies the presence of a gene that codes for a protein.

One Gene - One enzyme Theory Oogenesis Ooplasmic transfer Open Reading Frame (ORF)DNA sequence beginning with ATG and read in triplets until it ends with a STOP codon. An ORF is potentially able to encode a polypeptide.

The open reading frame (ORF) sequences from these completed genomes can be used to predict the proteins synthesized, but laboratory methods are needed to verify those predictions.

A sequence of codons that continues without encountering a stop codon is called an open reading frame (ORF).

Because the cDNA lacks introns, the sequence of the cloned cDNA can be used to find an ORF. In addition to simply identifying ORFs, many advanced sequence analysis programs use other information to help identify eukaryotic genes in the chromosome.

In many genes, each exon contains part of the open reading frame (ORF) that codes for a specific portion of the complete protein. However, the term exon is often misused to refer only to coding sequences for the final protein.

Open reading frame (ORF)
The sequence of DNA or RNA located between the start-code sequence (initiation codon) and the stop-code sequence (termination codon).

When the first genes were sequenced from it, it was found that all the information for the protein lay in one continuous stretch (an open reading frame (ORF)).
