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 ...

Translational buffering by ribosome stalling in upstream open reading frames. [PDF]
Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) are present in over half of all human mRNAs. uORFs can potently regulate the translation of downstream open reading frames through several mechanisms: siphoning away scanning ribosomes, regulating re-initiation, and ...

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 ...

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.

Background Approximately 40% of mammalian mRNA sequences contain AUG trinucleotides upstream of the main coding sequence, with a quarter of these AUGs demarcating open reading frames of 20 or more codons.

Predicting statistical properties of open reading frames in bacterial genomes.
An analytical model based on the statistical properties of Open Reading Frames (ORFs) of eubacterial genomes such as codon composition and sequence length of all reading frames was developed.

Conserved elements within open reading frames of mammalian Hox genes
A recent study in BMC Evolutionary Biology shows that many of the open reading frames in mammalian Hox genes are more conserved than expected on the basis of their protein sequence.

Conserved upstream open reading frames in higher plants [PDF]
Background Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) can down-regulate the translation of the main open reading frame (mORF) through two broad mechanisms: ribosomal stalling and reducing reinitiation efficiency.

Evolutionary divergence of novel open reading frames in cichlids speciation
Novel open reading frames (nORFs) with coding potential may arise from noncoding DNA. Not much is known about their emergence, functional role, fixation in a population or contribution to adaptive radiation.
