| reading frame |
A series of triplets beginning from a specific nucleotide. Each triplet is represented by a single amino acid in the protein synthesized. The reading frame defines which sets of three nucleotides are read as triplets in the DNA, and hence as codons in the corresponding mRNA; this is determined by the initiation codon, AUG. Thus the sequence AUGGCAAAAUUUCCC would read as AUG/GCA/AAA/UUU/CCC/ and not as A/UGC/CAA/AAU/UUC/CC. ...
