The grouping of three successive bases in a sequence of DNA that constitutes the codons for the amino acids encoded by the DNA.
- Analysis of the nucleotide sequence identifies an open reading frame of 1882 codons, interrupted by one putative intron.
- The alignment exhibited an insertion of 11 consecutive codons after the first 2 codons in the reading frame of the S gene.
- Proteins encoded in overlapping reading frames from the same nucleotides have different levels of amino acid variation.
