Bioinformatics: Using ORF Finder to locate open reading frames

In this video tutorial, i'm going to show you haw to use the ORF Finder software to find or locate open reading frames (possible protein coding genes).

ORF Finder is a software located at the NCBI Website and it is designed to locate open reading frames in a given DNA sequence in all the six reading frames.

To know more about Open Reading Frames,you can read this post HERE.

Note: This software (ORF Finder) is a basic software, so you can use it in the case of non complex genes (Microbial genomes).

There is a more sophisticated softwares that can handle the complexity of higher organisms genomes like GenMark.
