Exercise: `plotorf`

unix % plotorf
Plot potential open reading frames
Input sequence: tembl:xlrhodop
Graph type [x11]:

You will see a graphical output that shows the potential open reading frames (ORF) in all six frames:

$\begin{figure} \begin{center} \epsfig{figure=plotorf.ps,height=5in}\end{center}\end{figure}$

The longest ORF is in frame 2 from around position 100 to 1200. We will now identify the exact start and end points for our translation. To do this, we can use the EMBOSS program getorf.
