| mind-reading | The knowledge or communication by one person with the mental processes of another through channels other than known physical or perceptual processes. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| closed reading frame | A sequence of DNA that cannot be translated into a viable protein; usually due to the interruption by one or more termination codons. Synonym: closed reading frame. (05 Mar 2000) |
| open reading frame | <molecular biology> A reading frame in a sequence of nucleotides in DNA that contains no termination codons and so can potentially translate as a polypeptide chain. (18 Nov 1997) |
| open reading frames | Reading frames where successive nucleotide triplets can be read as codons specifying amino acids and where the sequence of these triplets is not interrupted by stop codons. (12 Dec 1998) |
| overlapping reading frame | <molecular biology> Start codons in different reading frames which generate different polypeptides from the same DNA sequence. (09 Oct 1997) |
| unidentified reading frame | <molecular biology> A reading frame in a sequence of nucleotides in DNA that contains no termination codons and so can potentially translate as a polypeptide chain. (18 Nov 1997) |
