This is a small menu of possible output options\&. The first four options are to select either the protein translation or the original nucleic acid sequence of the open reading frame\&. There are two possible definitions of an open reading frame: it can either be a region that is free of STOP codons or a region that begins with a START codon and ends with a STOP codon\&. The last three options are probably only of interest to people who wish to investigate the statistical properties of the regions around potential START or STOP codons\&. The last option assumes that ORF lengths are calculated between two STOP codons\&.

\fB\-methionine\fR \fIboolean\fR
.RS 4
START codons at the beginning of protein products will usually code for Methionine, despite what the codon will code for when it is internal to a protein\&. This qualifier sets all such START codons to code for Methionine by default\&. Default value: Y

\fB\-reverse\fR \fIboolean\fR

Set this to be false if you do not wish to find ORFs in the reverse complement of the sequence\&. Default value: Y

\fB\-flanking\fR \fIinteger\fR
.RS 4
If you have chosen one of the options of the type of sequence to find that gives the flanking sequence around a STOP or START codon, this allows you to set the number of nucleotides either side of that codon to output\&. If the region of flanking nucleotides crosses the start or end of the sequence, no output is given for this codon\&. Default value: 100
