Abstract excerpt
Non-canonical small open reading frames (sORFs) are among the main regulators of gene expression. The most studied of these are upstream ORFs (upORFs) located in the 5'-untranslated region (UTR) of coding genes. Internal ORFs (intORFs) in the coding sequence and downstream ORFs (dORFs) in the 3'UTR have received less attention. Different bioinformatics tools permit the prediction of single nucleotide variants...
