What is ORF Finder?
The ORF Finder (Open Reading Frame Finder) is a powerful bioinformatics tool designed to identify potential protein-coding regions in DNA or RNA sequences. It searches for open reading frames that start with a start codon and end with a stop codon.
Key Features:
- Searches all six reading frames (3 forward + 3 reverse)
- Supports multiple genetic codes for translation
- Configurable minimum ORF length threshold
- Option to use ATG only or alternative start codons
- Interactive visualization of ORF locations
- Export results as FASTA format
Applications:
- Gene prediction and annotation
- Identifying potential protein-coding sequences
- Analyzing cDNA and genomic sequences
- Validating cloned DNA sequences
