open reading frame
open reading frame[¦ō·pən ¦rēd·iŋ ¦frām] (cell and molecular biology) A stretch of triplets contained between an initator codon and a terminator codon. Abbreviated ORF. open reading frame
o·pen read·ing framea gene presumed to code for a protein but for which no gene product has been identified; also known as unidentified reading frame. Synonym(s): unidentified reading frameopen reading frame In RNA, a sequence of base pair triplets (codons) with no introns, which is translatable into a protein.open reading frame (ORF) a sequence of NUCLEOTIDE bases between an INITIATION CODON and a TERMINATION CODON, with the potential to be translated into a POLYPEPTIDE. Not all ORFs, especially the short ones, correspond to genes.See ORF
