Small Open Reading Frame-Encoded Micro-Peptides: An Emerging Protein World
Small open reading frames (sORFs) are often overlooked features in genomes. In the past, they were labeled as noncoding or “transcriptional noise”. However, accumulating evidence from recent years suggests that sORFs may be transcribed and translated to produce sORF-encoded polypeptides (SEPs) with...
