ORF is defined as a nucleotide sequence starting with a start codon and ending with a stop codon; the sequences cannot be degenerated (obviously), but have to be strict DNA or RNA sequences. <p>See also <a href="gp_seq2prot.html">gp_seq2prot(1)</a> for additional details. <p><h2>SEE ALSO</h2> <a href="index.html">Genpak(1)</a> <a href="gp_acc.html">gp_acc(1)</a> <a href="gp_adjust.html">gp_adjust(1)</a> <a href="gp_cdndev.html">gp_cdndev(1)</a> <a href="gp_cusage.html">gp_cusage(1)</a> <a href="gp_digest.html">gp_digest(1)</a> <a href="gp_dimer.html">gp_dimer(1)</a> <a href="gp_gc.html">gp_gc(1)</a> <a href="gp_getseq.html">gp_getseq(1)</a> <a href="gp_map.html">gp_map(1)</a> <a href="gp_matrix.html">gp_matrix(1)</a> <a href="gp_mkmtx.html">gp_mkmtx(1)</a> <a href="gp_pattern.html">gp_pattern(1)</a> <a href="gp_primer.html">gp_primer(1)</a> <a href="gp_qs.html">gp_qs(1)</a> <a href="gp_randseq.html">gp_randseq(1)</a> <a href="gp_seq2prot.html">gp_seq2prot(1)</a> <a href="gp_slen.html">gp_slen(1)</a> <a href="gp_tm.html">gp_tm(1)</a> <a href="gp_trimer.html">gp_trimer(1)</a> <p><h2>DIAGNOSTICS</h2> <p>All <strong>Genpak</strong> programs complain in situations you would also complain, like when they cannot find a sequence you gave them or the sequence is not valid. <p>The <strong>Genpak</strong> programs do not write over existing files. I have found this feature very useful :-) <p><h2>BUGS</h2> <p>I'm sure there are plenty left, so please mail me if you find them. I tried to clean up every bug I could find. <p><h2>AUTHOR</h2> <p>January Weiner III <a href="mailto:january@bioinformatics.org"><january@bioinformatics.org></a> </body> </html>
