The division of the nucleotide sequence of a nucleic acid into consecutive three-nucleotide codons. 1, record 1, English, - reading%20frame
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
There are three different frames (starting a codon with the first, second, or third nucleotide). Generally, only one frame encodes a polypeptide; this frame is specified by the location of the initiation codon of the polypeptide. The deletion or addition of a nucleotide throws off the frame after that point, making non-sense of the remaining code; this is called a frameshift mutation. 1, record 1, English, - reading%20frame

Elle est déterminée à partir de l'endroit où commence la lecture du brin. Si la phase vient à être perturbée par l'insertion ou l'enlèvement de base, le sens de l'information génétique s'en trouve modifié. On peut rétablir la phase, soit en introduisant le décalage inverse, soit en accumulant trois fois le même type de mutation. 3, record 1, French, - phase%20de%20lecture
