Reading frame

reading frame

One of the three possible ways of reading a nucleotide sequence. As the genetic code is read in nonoverlapping triplets (codons) there are three possible ways of translating a sequence of nucleotides into a protein, each with a different starting point. For example: given the nucleotide sequence: AGCAGCAGC, the three reading frames are: AGC AGC AGC, GCA GCA, CAG CAG.

multiple initiation sites.

... this correct, but if the second initiation site is in a different reading frame, you get a whole new protein product from within the same nucleotide sequence. This indeed ...

Two questions about operon (transcription/translation)

... prokaryotic mRNAs have a ribosome binding site (RBS) for each open reading frame. However, others do not: sometimes the last codon of one open reading frame coincides ...

What are today's bioinformatic bottlenecks?

tblastx is too slow. Find the correct reading frame before hand, and your computation time will decrease 36-fold. Otherwise, I'd say sequence alignment ...
