Abstract

smORFing for Calcium: Genomes contain thousands of small open reading frames (smORFs), short DNA sequences coding for peptides of less than 100 amino acids. Magny et al. (p. 1116 , published on 22 August) describe two smORF-encoded peptides of less than 30 amino acids regulating calcium transport and, hence, regular heart contraction, in the fruit fly Drosophila . These peptides seem to have been conserved for more than 550 million years in a range of species from flies to humans, where they have been implicated in severe heart diseases. Such conservation suggests that smORFs might be an ancient part of our functional genome.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
