Small ORFs, Big Insights: <i>Drosophila</i> as a Model to Unraveling Microprotein Functions

Recently developed experimental and computational approaches to identify putative coding small ORFs (smORFs) in genomes have revealed thousands of smORFs localized within coding and non-coding RNAs. They can be translated into smORF peptides or microproteins, which are defined as less than 100 amino...
