SIXPACK

SIXPACK is a "pretty printing" tool that displays a DNA sequence with 6-frame translation and open reading frames (ORFs). The program takes a nucleic acid sequence and writes out the forward and reverse senses of the sequence with the 3 forward and three reverse translations. It also writes a file containing the open reading frames that are larger than the specified minimum size (default 1 base, showing all possible open reading frames). The ORFs are written as protein sequences in the default output sequence format. An ORF is defined in this program as any possible translation between two STOP codons. Part of Emboss.
