An open reading frame, or ORF, is a piece of DNA sequence that does not include a stop codon (which acts as a signal to stop protein synthesis). The codon is a sequence of DNA or RNA from 3 nucleotides, which forms a unit of information that codes for a particular amino acid or indicates the end of protein synthesis (stop codon).
There are 64 different codons (exceptions to the standard code are found); 61 identify amino acids and 3 are used as stop codons. The open reading frame is often part of the gene, a series of codons used in the protein industry.
