Mapping ORFs to Chromosome locations

Hi, I have a list of ORFs with their chromosome number and start and stop nucleotide sequences. I was wondering that, given a set of genes (w/ start and stop seq and chromosome no.), can I use any tool that can map these orfs to chromosome sequence and see if they fall within or outside this region!!

You can align the sequences using BLAT.

Convert the top alignments from the resulting PSL file to BED format and use BEDtools to check the intersection with your coordinates.
