• There are six possible reading frames in double-stranded DNA. Using the genetic code, translate all possible reading frames of this DNA sequence.

• Which of the reading frames (if any) of the reading frames you translated is an open reading frame, i.e., does not contain a stop codon?
  • By convention, the top strand frames are called +1, +2, +3, reading 5' to 3' and the bottom strand frames are called -1, -2, -3, reading 5' to 3'.
