Identifying Small Open Reading Frames in Prokaryotes with Ribosome Profiling
Small proteins encoded by open reading frames (ORFs) shorter than 50 codons (small ORFs [sORFs]) are often overlooked by annotation engines and are difficult to characterize using traditional biochemical techniques.

Pervasive functional translation of noncanonical human open reading frames
Expanding the human proteome Using mass spectrometry, ribosome profiling, and several CRISPR-based screens, Chen et al. identified hundreds of previously uncharacterized functional micropeptides in the human genome (see the Perspective by Wei and Guo ...

OpenVar: functional annotation of variants in non-canonical open reading frames
Background Recent technological advances have revealed thousands of functional open reading frames (ORF) that have eluded reference genome annotations. These overlooked ORFs are found throughout the genome, in any reading frame of transcripts, mature or ...

Selecting Open Reading Frames From DNA [PDF]
We describe a method to select DNA encoding functional open reading frames (ORFs) from noncoding DNA within the context of a specific vector. Phage display has been used as an example, but any system requiring DNA encoding protein fragments, for example, the yeast two-hybrid system, could be used.

Translation of small downstream ORFs enhances translation of canonical main open reading frames
In addition to canonical open reading frames (ORFs), thousands of translated small ORFs (containing less than 100 codons) have been identified in untranslated mRNA regions (UTRs) across eukaryotes.

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.

Mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs) are a novel class of bioactive microproteins that modify cell metabolism. To date, eight MDPs have been characterized (e.g., humanin, MOTS-c, SHLPs1-6) and attenuate disease pathology, including Alzheimer's disease ...

The mitochondrial genome of Cavia aperea
Cavia aperea is a wild guinea pig found throughout South America. The previously published mitochondrial sequence for C. aperea was highly divergent from the C. porcellus sequence and contained stop codons within open reading frames.

RiboNT: A Noise-Tolerant Predictor of Open Reading Frames from Ribosome-Protected Footprints
Ribo-seq, also known as ribosome profiling, refers to the sequencing of ribosome-protected mRNA fragments (RPFs). This technique has greatly advanced our understanding of translation and facilitated the identification of novel open reading frames (ORFs ...
