Summary Introduction
To review:
The DNA sequence alignment and its significance.
Introduction:
A self-replicating material or the structure which is present in almost all living organisms to carry genetic information from one generation to the other is called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA is the double-helical structure and has sets of

What information would you use to find the beginnings and ends of open reading frames? How many open reading frames can you find in this sequence? Which open reading frame is likely to represent a protein- coding sequence, and why? Which are probably not functioning protein-coding sequences, and why? Note: for simplicitys sake, analyze only this one strand of the DNA double helix, reading from left to right, so you will only be analyzing three of the six reading frames shown in Figure 19.4.arrow_forward
