Public Library of Science 2012 lengths 2012-09-24 00:28:33 Figure https://plos.figshare.com/articles/figure/_aORF_lengths_distributions_/241713 <p>The absolute frequency of aORF lengths in codons from the EHEC genome (NC_002695) is compared to its <i>Rcodon</i> and the prediction of the mixture model. The visible difference between the natural genome and the theoretical expectations either by <i>Rcodon</i> or the mixture model is due to the fact that short ORFs are generally less likely to be annotated as functional proteins. However, this is changing (e.g., <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0045103#pone.0045103-Hemm1" target="_blank">[40]</a>) and short ORFs are picked up for annotations more frequently.</p>
