1
New cards

Open reading frames are

capable of encoding proteins based on sequence

2
New cards

ORFs are

difficult to identify in eukaryotic genomes

3
New cards

Coding regions are

broken up into separate exons

4
New cards


Each exon does not have

its own start codon and stop codon

5
New cards

Each exon is

not in the same “frame” as the others

• introns are not confined to lengths of multiples-of-3

6
New cards

Exons are, compared to introns

very short compared to introns

7
New cards

Gene sequences will have

many possible ORFs that are in introns

8
New cards

Processed mRNAs have

three possible reading frames
