Class

The in-frame interval between the stop codons of a reading frame which when read as sequential triplets, has the potential of encoding a sequential string of amino acids. TER(NNN)nTER.

The definition was modified by Rama. ORF is defined by the sequence, whereas the CDS is defined according to whether a polypeptide is made. This term is mapped to MGED. Do not obsolete without consulting MGED ontology.
