In molecular biology, a reading frame is a way of dividing the sequence of nucleotides in a nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) molecule into a set of consecutive, non-overlapping triplets. Where these triplets equate to amino acids or stop signals during translation, they are called codons. A single strand of a nucleic acid molecule has a phosphoryl end, c...

A series of triplet codons beginning from a specific nucleotide. Depending on where one begins, each DNA strand contains three different reading frames. (See Open reading frame, Overlapping reading frames.)

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...

Reading frame: One of the three possible ways to read a nucleotide sequence in DNA or RNA as a series of nonoverlapping triplets, depending upon whether reading starts with the first, second or third base in the sequence. For example: with the nucleotide sequence TGCTGCTGC, the three possible reading frames are: TGC TGC TGC; and GCT GCT; and CTG CT...
