Small open reading frame-encoded microproteins in cancer: identification, biological functions and clinical significance by Tingting Zhang, Zhang Li, Jiao Li, Yong Peng

“…Abstract The human genome harbors approximately twenty thousand protein-coding genes, and a significant portion of life science research focuses on elucidating their functions and the underlying mechanisms. Recent studies have revealed that small open reading frame (sORF), originating from non-coding RNAs or the 5’ leader sequences of messenger RNAs, can be translated into small peptides called microproteins through cap-dependent or cap-independent mechanisms. …”

Species abundances surpass richness effects in the biodiversity-ecosystem function relationship across marine fishes by Helen F. Yan, Renato A. Morais, David R. Bellwood

“…Abstract High biological diversity (or biodiversity) is thought to bolster communities against disturbances, leading to higher levels of ecosystem functioning. While the biodiversity-ecosystem function (BEF) relationship is evident in studies equating diversity to species richness, it is still unclear which ecological mechanisms can produce different observational BEF effects. …”
