The Growth of sPEP-Specific Techniques in Fungi

Paige E Erpf *, James A Fraser

Short open reading frame (sORF)-encoded polypeptides (sPEPs) have become an increasing focus of investigation over the last decade, both due to the development of sPEP-specific experimental techniques and the growing understanding of the importance of sORFs in biological functions. In this mini review, we highlight the advancements made in sPEP identification and characterization across several fungi species. Here we briefly describe some of the techniques that have been developed to facilitate identification and characterization of sORFs and sPEPs across a range of fungal species.
