plotorf plots potential open reading frames (ORFs) for an input nucleotide sequence. ORFs in this program are defined as being regions between the specified START and STOP codons. A graphical representation of where the open reading frames are in all 6 reading frames is shown. The ORFs are displayed as blue boxes.
ORFs in this program are defined as being regions between START and STOP codons. The default START codon is: ATG. The default STOP codons are: TAA,TAG,TGA. You can specify your own set of start and stop codons using the -start and -stop qualifiers.

Note that this definition of an ORF would miss those exons in eukaryotic genomic sequences which do not contain a START codon. plotorf is only really useful when dealing with prokaryotic or mRNA eukaryotic sequences.
