start codon The codon (AUG) on a messenger RNA molecule where protein synthesis begins.
Start codons in different reading frames generate different polypeptides from the same DNA sequence.

The core protein is coded for by gene C (HBcAg), and its start codon is preceded by an upstream in-frame AUG start codon from which the pre-core protein is produced. HBeAg is produced by proteolytic processing of the pre-core protein.
A second issue in modeling microbial genes is accurate prediction of the start codon, which is complicated further by the use of minor start codons in addition to the universal AUG.
A start codon for a protein is "ATG." You're going to bump into a start codon ATG pretty often. [There are] three different reading frames in which I could start, I'm going to find [an ATG] on average about once every 21 bases or so.
In Figure 3, both ribosomal subunits (small and large) assemble at the start codon (the 5' end of the mRNA).
It proceeds downstream (5' -> 3') until it encounters the start codon AUG. (The region between the cap and the AUG is known as the 5'-untranslated region [5'-UTR].)
Here it is joined by the large subunit and a special initiator tRNA.
cds The cds is the translated part of the gene from start codon to stop codon and excluding introns.
chemical Terms describing substances obtained by a chemical process or used for producing a chemical effect.
Start (initiation) codon
The codon on mRNA where polypeptide synthesis is initiated. The most common start codon is AUG but sometimes GUG or rarely UUG can be used as a start codon.
Overlapping reading frames. Start codons in different reading frames generate different polypeptides from the same DNA sequence. (See Reading frame.)

And there's a special codon called a start codon, which is an ATG, that begins each protein. And then at the end of the proteins we have a special codon called stop codons.
Regions of DNA/RNA sequences that code for proteins. Usually starts with a start codon (ATG) and ends with a stop codon.

initiation The ?rst step in translation; occurs when a messenger RNA molecule, a ribosomal subunit, and a transfer RNA molecule carrying the ?rst amino acid bind together to form a complex; begins at the start codon on mRNA.
" During the course of the run, the GA can increase the effective length of its genome by introducing new start codons in different reading frames. By the end of the run, "the amount of overlap is quite high.
The vector may also carry a ribosome binding sequence (for bacterial expression) and a start codon, depending on the nature of the inserted DNA. Some expression vectors produce fusion proteins.
