  Open Reading Frame
A reading frame, in biology, consists of three-nucleotide codon sets in either DNA or RNA that are contiguous and non-overlapping.
Sometimes short open reading frames occur outside the genes, simply by chance, and these are generally examined and discarded.
Open reading frames are crucial to genetic sequencing.

 ORF-open reading frame?? - BioForum
ORF is a piece of DNA that begins with an initiation (methionine ATG) codon and ends with a nonsense codon.
Open reading frame: A long sequence of DNA that has no stop codon (no signal to stop reading) and therefore may encode part or all of a protein.
An open reading frame is any segment of that stretch of DNA that begins with a start codon and ends with a stop codon when both the start codon and the stop codon are in the same reading frame.

 GeneLooper High-Throughput
In general, for a full-length mRNA, the longest open reading frame is the region coding for its protein.
The sequence before the first ATG of the longest ORF is called 5’ untranslated region (5’UTR), and the sequence after the stop in the same frame is called the 3’ untranslated region (3’UTR).
The incomplete ORF detection method allows one to study the coding regions of partial cDNAs, for example, to screen those with relatively long incomplete ORF because they are more likely to be genuine transcripts coding for proteins.

 Open reading frame - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In a gene, ORFs are located between the start-code sequence (initiation codon) and the stop-code sequence (termination codon).
In fact, the existence of an ORF, especially a long one, is usually a good indication of the presence of a gene in the surrounding sequence.
In this case, the ORF is part of the sequence that will be translated by the ribosomes and the ORF will be long and continue over gaps, or introns.

 Open Reading Frame?
An open reading frame (ORF) is a portion of a gene's sequence that contains a sequence of bases, uninterrupted by stop sequences, that could potentially encode a protein.
ORF identification involves scanning each of the six reading frames and determining which one(s) contains a stretch of DNA sequence bounded by a start and stop codon, yet containing no start or stop codons within it; a sequence meeting these conditions could correspond to the actual single product of the gene.
The identification of an ORF provides the first evidence that a new sequence of DNA is part or all of a gene encoding for a particular protein.

 Open Reading Frame
I had a section on this in my "open access" essay for 3QD, but I cut it out in the interest of brevity, because the open source section was just there for background and I assumed most people reading 3QD would be at least somewhat familiar with it.
I take it as read that for-profit ventures charge what the market will bear, but when the market in question is largely scientists and their allies (librarians, clinicians, &c.), it seems logical that the market should look for data on which to base decisions about just what it will bear.
If one feels that the social benefits of open access are clearly and completely overwhelming, then one is compelled to push for whatever solutions might point in that direction and let the chips fall where they may. But to righteously ignore the fact that some of those chips may fall very heavily indeed is irresponsible.

 Restoration of Open Reading Frame Resulting from Skipping of an Exon with an Internal Deletion in the COL7A1 Gene
Restoration of open reading frame resulting from exon skipping has been documented as a mechanism of rescuing an mRNA transcript containing mutations.
In this study, we describe a mutation in a family with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa consisting of a 16-bp deletion within exon 87 of the type VII collagen gene (COL7A1) and predicted to lead to a frameshift and downstream premature termination codon.
Restoration of open reading frame by exon skipping represents a previously undescribed mechanism of action of intraexonic deletion mutations.

Sequence analysis of multiple isolates of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reveals the existence of a conserved open reading frame, designated T, that partially overlaps the tat, rev, and vpu coding sequences.
Here we show that in vitro translation of RNA derived from this region of the viral genome yields a 17 kDa fusion protein, the result of a minus one frameshift event in the overlap between the tat and T open reading frames.
