Expanding the human proteome with microproteins and peptideins | Nature
A large-scale proteomics analysis of the dark proteome by the TransCODE Consortium reveals many translated non-canonical open reading frames to encode microproteins and peptideins.

But the fundamental question remains of what has been missed in previous analyses. Over the past decade, the translation of non-canonical open reading frames (ncORFs) has been observed across human cell types and disease states 1 , 2 , 3 , with major implications for biomedical science. However, a key gap in knowledge has been which ncORFs produce sma
