AlterORF: a database of alternate open reading frames
نویسندگان
چکیده
AlterORF is a searchable database that contains information regarding alternate open reading frames (ORFs) for over 1.5 million genes in 481 prokaryotic genomes. The objective of the database is to provide a platform for improving genome annotation and to serve as an aid for the identification of prokaryotic genes that potentially encode proteins in more than one reading frame. The AlterORF Database can be accessed through a web interface at www.alterorf.cl.

متن کاملImage processing by alternate dual Gabor frames
We present an application of the dual Gabor frames to image processing. Our algorithm is based on finding some dual Gabor frame generators which reconstructs accurately the elements of the underlying Hilbert space. The advantages of these duals constructed by a polynomial of Gabor frame generators are compared with their canonical dual.
متن کاملSeroconversion to hepatitis C virus alternate reading frame protein during acute infection.
UNLABELLED The existence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) proteins encoded by alternate reading frames overlapping the core-encoding region has been suggested. Several mechanisms of production have been postulated, and the functions of these proteins in the HCV life cycle remain unknown. We analyzed cases of seroconversion to an alternate reading frame protein in a group of 17 patients infected by on...
متن کاملThe structure of an alternate form of complement C3 that displays costimulatory growth factor activity for B lymphocytes
In this study, the structure of a novel 1.9-kb transcript coding for complement component 3 (C3) is described. This alternate C3 is identical to the 3' end of the C3 message beginning at position 3300 of the C3 cDNA. Its transcription appears to be driven by an alternate promoter located within intron 8 of the C3 gene. This alternate C3 message contains an open reading frame that may encode a 5...
متن کاملHAltORF: a database of predicted out-of-frame alternative open reading frames in human
Human alternative open reading frames (HAltORF) is a publicly available and searchable online database referencing putative products of out-of-frame alternative translation initiation (ATI) in human mRNAs. Out-of-frame ATI is a process by which a single mRNA encodes independent proteins, when distinct initiation codons located in different reading frames are recognized by a ribosome to initiate...
