A reading frame is a way to divide a sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA into consecutive, non-overlapping triplets, known as codons. The reading frame determines how the sequence is translated into amino acids during protein synthesis. Because the genetic code is read in sets of three nucleotides, a shift in the reading frame can lead to completely different translations of the same nucleotide sequence.
