DNA Find Orfs

Find open reading frames (ORFs) in a DNA sequence by scanning for ATG start codons followed by stop codons (TAA, TAG, TGA). Returns ORFs sorted by length with positions, strand, and reading frame. Supports forward strand, reverse strand, or both. Use for: gene prediction, identifying protein-coding regions, analyzing synthetic sequences.
