CsORF-finder: an effective ensemble learning framework for accurate identification of multi-species coding short open reading frames.

ABSTRACT: Short open reading frames (sORFs) refer to the small nucleic fragments no longer than 303 nt in length that probably encode small peptides. To date, translatable sORFs have been found in both untranslated regions of messenger ribonucleic acids (RNAs; mRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), playing vital roles in a myriad of biological processes. As not all sORFs are translated or essentially translatable, it is important to develop a highly accurate computational tool for characterizing the coding potential of sORFs, thereby facilitating discovery of novel functional peptides. In light of this, we designed a series of ensemble models by integrating Efficient-CapsNet and LightGBM, collectively termed csORF-finder, to differentiate the coding sORFs (csORFs) from non-coding sORFs in Homo s
