Abstract excerpt
Accurate prediction of open reading frames (ORFs) is important for studying and using genome sequences. Ribosomes move along mRNA strands with a step of three nucleotides and datasets carrying this information can be used to predict ORFs. The ribosome-protected footprints (RPFs) feature a significant 3-nt periodicity on mRNAs and are powerful in predicting translating ORFs, including small ORFs (sORFs), but the...
