Identification and investigation of ORFans in the viral world.

BMC genomics - 19 Jan 2008

Yin Yanbin, Fischer Daniel

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genome-wide studies have already shed light into the evolution and enormous diversity of the viral world. Nevertheless, one of the unresolved mysteries in comparative genomics today is the abundance of ORFans - ORFs with no detectable sequence similarity to any other ORF in the databases. Recently, studies attempting to understand the origin and functions of bacterial ORFans have been reported. Here...
