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 کاملNeeds Assessment Competencies: Are They Important for Extension Educators?
The purpose of this study was to determine the importance of eleven professional competencies related to needs assessment and program development; a secondary purpose was to identify the best time these competencies should be learned. The study followed a survey research design, in which 441 randomly selected extension educators in the North Central Region of the United States responded to a qu...
متن کاملDads: how important are they?
Even with today’s technology, it still takes both a male and a female to make a baby. But is it important for both parents to raise that child? Many studies have outlined the value of a mother, but few have clearly defined the importance of a father, until now. New findings from the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) show that the absence of a father during crit...
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 کاملUpstream open reading frames: Molecular switches in (patho)physiology
Conserved upstream open reading frames (uORFs) are found within many eukaryotic transcripts and are known to regulate protein translation. Evidence from genetic and bioinformatic studies implicates disturbed uORF-mediated translational control in the etiology of human diseases. A genetic mouse model has recently provided proof-of-principle support for the physiological relevance of uORF-mediate...
