1. First identify the start codon in the open reading frame. Then break the sequence into 3 base pair codons until you reach a stop codon. Finally translate each codon into its corresponding amino acid.

2. First write the complementary strand of DNA. Next look for the longest possible ORF in both strands, reading each in a 5´ to 3´ direction. In this instance the longest open reading frame is in the reverse orientation (strand 2). Strand 2 will be the sense strand and Strand 1 the antisense strand
