Properties of encoded peptide sequences. a Only a small fraction of novel peptides has significant homology to known longer proteins. b Novel predicted peptides are more disordered than annotated short proteins or conceptual products from length-matched control ORFs in non-coding regions, and they also have a higher density of linear peptide motifs (c). d Some novel sORFs are predicted to contain signal peptide sequences, but not consistently more than expected. ***P <0.001; **P <0.01; *P <0.05, Mann-Whitney tests in b and c, binomial test in d
