BACKGROUND: Some upstream open reading frames (uORFs) regulate gene expression (i.e., they are functional) and can play key roles in keeping organisms healthy. However, how uORFs are involved in gene regulation is not yet fully understood. In order t... Read More about Predicting functional upstream open reading frames in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
