Upstream open reading frames cause widespread reduction of protein expression and are polymorphic among humans
Upstream ORFs (uORFs) are mRNA elements defined by a start codon in the 5' UTR that is out-of-frame with the main coding sequence. Although uORFs are present in approximately half of human and mouse transcripts, no study has investigated their global impact on protein expression. Here, we repor...
