Expanding the human proteome with microproteins and peptideins – Nature
A recent study has expanded the understanding of the human proteome by focusing on microproteins and peptideins. The research highlights the importance of non-canonical open reading frames (ncORFs) in producing small proteins that contribute to human biology. The findings were made by the TransCODE Consortium, which analyzed a large dataset of proteomics experiments.
- ▪The study reveals that approximately 25% of analyzed ncORFs produce detectable peptides.
- ▪This research is significant for advancing knowledge in biomedical science and human health.
- ▪The TransCODE Consortium developed a new annotation framework for microproteins derived from ncORFs.
