  • There are six possible reading frames in double-stranded DNA. Using the genetic code, translate all possible reading frames of this DNA sequence.
mRNA sequence: 5'-cguaugcuaauaccauguuccgcguauaacccagccgccaguuccgcuggcggcauuuua-3'
+1 5'- -3'
+2 5'- -3'
+3 5'- -3'
-1 5'- -3'
-2 5'- -3'
-3 5'- -3'
  • 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'.
