Standardized annotation of translated open reading frames. [PDF]
Ribosome profiling (Ribo-seq) has extended our understanding of the translational ‘vocabulary’ of the human genome, uncovering thousands of open reading frames (ORFs) within long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and presumed untranslated regions (UTRs) of protein-coding genes.

Noise reduction by upstream open reading frames. [PDF]
Gene expression is prone to burst production, making it a highly noisy process that requires additional controls. Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) are widely present in the 5′ leader sequences of 30–50% of eukaryotic messenger RNAs1–3.

Classification and function of small open reading frames [PDF]
Small open reading frames (smORFs) of 100 codons or fewer are usually - if arbitrarily - excluded from proteome annotations. Despite this, the genomes of many metazoans, including humans, contain millions of smORFs, some of which fulfil key physiological

Extensive translation of small Open Reading Frames revealed by Poly-Ribo-Seq [PDF]
Thousands of small Open Reading Frames (smORFs) with the potential to encode small peptides of fewer than 100 amino acids exist in our genomes. However, the number of smORFs actually translated, and their molecular and functional roles are still unclear.

Gene expression regulation by upstream open reading frames and human disease. [PDF]
Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) are major gene expression regulatory elements. In many eukaryotic mRNAs, one or more uORFs precede the initiation codon of the main coding region.

Identification of short open reading frames in plant genomes [PDF]
The roles of short/small open reading frames (sORFs) have been increasingly recognized in recent years due to the rapidly growing number of sORFs identified in various organisms due to the development and application of the Ribo-Seq technique, which ...

ORFer – retrieval of protein sequences and open reading frames from GenBank and storage into relational databases or text files [PDF]
Background Functional genomics involves the parallel experimentation with large sets of proteins. This requires management of large sets of open reading frames as a prerequisite of the cloning and recombinant expression of these proteins.

Integrated workflow for discovery of microprotein-coding small open reading frames [PDF]
Summary: Small open reading frame (smORF)-encoded microproteins, proteins containing less than 100–150 amino acids, are an emerging class of functional biomolecules.

Small open reading frames: a comparative genetics approach to validation [PDF]
Open reading frames (ORFs) with fewer than 100 codons are generally not annotated in genomes, although bona fide genes of that size are known. Newer biochemical studies have suggested that thousands of small protein-coding ORFs (smORFs) may exist in the ...

A novel class of microRNA-recognition elements that function only within open reading frames. [PDF]
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are well known to target 3' untranslated regions (3' UTRs) in mRNAs, thereby silencing gene expression at the post-transcriptional level.
