From: Extensive identification and analysis of conserved small ORFs in animals
Identification of conserved sORFs in five animals. a Overview of the pipeline. (1) Annotated transcripts are searched for ORFs and specific conservation features are extracted from the multiple species alignment (2). (3) A SVM classifier is used to predict coding sORFs (≤100 aa) with high specificity and sensitivity (b). (4) sORFs overlapping with larger predicted sORFs or with conserved annotated coding exons are removed (c). d Distribution of predicted sORFs in different regions of the transcriptome. e Length distribution of predicted sORFs
