The silkworm (Bombyx mori) is not only an excellent model species, but also an important
agricultural economic insect. Taking it as the research object, its advantages of low …

In recent years, researchers have discovered thousands of sORFs that can encode
micropeptides, and more and more discoveries that non-AUG codons can be used as …

Since the advent of sequencing techniques and due to their continuous evolution, it has
become easier and less expensive to obtain the complete genome sequence of any …

Background: Polypeptides that comprise less than 100 amino acids (50 amino acids in some
cases) are referred to as small proteins (SPs), however, as of date, there is no strict …

The Zika virus is a flavivirus that can cause fulminant outbreaks and lead to Guillain-Barré
syndrome, microcephaly and fetal demise. Like other flaviviruses, the Zika virus is …

LncRNAs (long non-coding RNAs) are pervasively transcribed in the human genome and
also extensively involved in a variety of essential biological processes and human diseases …

Non-canonical open reading frames (ORFs), which are ORFs that are not included in
reference genome annotations, are gaining more and more research interest in recent …

Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) are present in over half of all human mRNAs.
uORFs can potently regulate the translation of downstream open reading frames through …

Recent proteogenomic approaches have led to the discovery that regions of the
transcriptome previously annotated as non-coding regions [ie, untranslated regions (UTRs) …

Microorganisms including yeasts are responsible for mineralization of organic matter in cold
regions, and their characterization is critical to elucidate the ecology of such environments …
