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.

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).
Operon A set of genes transcribed under the control of an operator gene.

Open reading frame (ORF)
A stretch of DNA which potentially codes for protein. A length of DNA not interrupted by stop codons. A sequence of in frame codons preceded by a translational initiation codon and terminated by a chain termination triplet.

OPEN READING FRAME - A region within a reading frame of an mRNA molecule that potentially encodes a polypeptide; and which does not contain a translational stop codon (see READING FRAME).

Open reading frame: Any region of DNA or RNA where a protein could be encoded. In other words, there must be a string of nucleotides (possibly starting with a Met codon) in which one of the three reading frames has no stop codons.

Open reading frame: That segment of a nucleic acid sequence that lies between two stop codons, when translated in a given reading frame.

ORF Open reading frame. A continuous sequence of nucleotide triplets (codons) in which each triplet codes for an amino acid.
Oligonucleotide A short nucleic acid molecule; normally refers to molecules between 5 and 200 nucleotide residues(bases) long.

Open reading frame. A long DNA sequence that is unin- terrupted by a stop codon and encodes part or all of a protein. (See Reading frame.) Operator.

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.

open reading frame (ORF) A sequence of nucleotide codons in a DNA or RNA molecule that does not include a termination codon and thus could code for a protein. open system A system that exchanges matter and energy with its surroundings. See system.

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)).

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.

The pol-like open reading frame is probably the gene for a reverse transcriptase that transcribes processed RNA into DNA.
Elements such as these retrotransposons or retroposons are derived from or are the source of retroviruses.
