Abstract excerpt
Transposons are major drivers of mammalian genome evolution. To obtain new insights into the contribution of transposons to the regulation of protein translation, we here examined how transposons affected the genesis and function of upstream open reading frames (uORFs), which serve as cis-acting elements to regulate translation from annotated ORFs (anORFs) located downstream of the uORFs in eukaryotic mRNAs....
