How to Deal with Small Open Reading Frames?
Current ’classical’ algorithms recognizing protein coding sequences do not work effectively with sequences of small length. To deal with this problem we have proposed some improvements of the existing gene finders without any assumed arbitrary threshold. Introduced parameters describe position of tested sequences in the ranking of all small Open Reading Frames and short protein coding genes fou...
متن کاملSmall open reading frames: current prediction techniques and future prospect.
Evidence is accumulating that small open reading frames (sORF, <100 codons) play key roles in many important biological processes. Yet, they are generally ignored in gene annotation despite they are far more abundant than the genes with more than 100 codons. Here, we demonstrate that popular homolog search and codon-index techniques perform poorly for small genes relative to that for larger gen...

متن کاملTying Down Loose Ends in the Chlamydomonas Genome: Functional Significance of Abundant Upstream Open Reading Frames.
The Chlamydomonas genome has been sequenced, assembled, and annotated to produce a rich resource for genetics and molecular biology in this well-studied model organism. The annotated genome is very rich in open reading frames upstream of the annotated coding sequence ('uORFs'): almost three quarters of the assigned transcripts have at least one uORF, and frequently more than one. This is proble...
متن کاملStatistical Properties of Open Reading Frames in Complete Genome Sequences
Some statistical properties of open reading frames in all currently available complete genome sequences are analyzed (seventeen prokatyotic genomes, and 16 chromosome sequences from the yeast genome). The size distribution of open reading frames is characterized by various techniques, such as quantile tables, QQ-plots, rank-size plots (Zipf's plots), and spatial densities. The issue of the infl...
