## plotorf

### Description

Plots potential open reading frames in a nucleotide sequence.

This tool uses EMBOSS command plotorf to plot potential open reading frames (ORFs) for a 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 codon and Stop codon qualifiers.

The input sequences can be in any of the EMBOSS compatible sequence formats.

For more details, please check the manual page of plotorf command.
