reading frame

the actual codons that are translated (read) during mRNA synthesis. In principle a DNA sequence can be transcribed in any one of three different reading frames, each of which will specify a completely different polypeptide. Usually only one of the three reading frames is transcribed.

open reading frame (ORF)

an extended sequence in mRNA that is free of stop codons.
