CDS

The CDS, or coding sequence, refers to the portion of a genomic DNA sequence that is translated into a protein. If complete, it runs from the Start Codon? to the Stop Codon, inclusively. A partial coding sequence may lack either or both the start and stop codons. Successful translation of a coding sequence results in the synthesis of a protein.
