They have eluded annotations because they are either small or within unsuspected locations. These are named alternative ORFs (altORF s) or small ORFs and have recently been highlighted by innovative proteoge nomic approaches\, such as our OpenProt resource\, revealing their existen ce and implications in biological functions. Due to the absence of altORFs from annotations\, pathogenic mutations within these are being ignored. I will discuss our latest progress on the re-analysis of large-scale proteo mics datasets to improve our knowledge of proteomic diversity\, and the fu nctional characterization of a second protein coded by the FUS gene. Final ly\, I will explain the need to map the coding potential of the transcript ome using artificial intelligence rather than with conventional annotation s that do not capture the full translational activity of ribosomes.\n\n\nS upported by the generosity of the Killam Trusts \, The Neuro’s Killam Semi nar series hosts outstanding guest speakers whose research is of interest to the scientific community at The Neuro and ºÚÁÏÍø.\n DTSTART:20220118T210000Z DTEND:20220118T220000Z SUMMARY:Killam Seminar Series presents 'Towards a More Authentic Vision of the (multi)Coding Potential of RNA' URL:/neuro/channels/event/killam-seminar-series-presen ts-towards-more-authentic-vision-multicoding-potential-rna-335992 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
