What is another word for reading frame?
Pronunciation: [ɹˈiːdɪŋ fɹˈe͡ɪm] (IPA) 
Reading frame, also known as codon frame, refers to the sequence of nucleotide triplets in DNA or RNA from which codons are formed. In bioinformatics, reading frame is an important term as it helps in identifying protein-coding regions in genetic sequences. Some of the synonyms for reading frame are reading phase, open reading frame (ORF), and genetic reading pattern. ORF is often used to describe a DNA sequence that can be translated into a protein. Genetic reading pattern is another synonym that is used to describe the frame of triplet nucleotides that determines the actual sequence of amino acids used in protein synthesis. Ultimately, these synonyms refer to the same concept of determining the correct way to read the sequence of nucleotides in genetic material.
