Towards the characterization of the hidden world of small proteins in Staphylococcus aureus, a proteogenomics approach.

Small proteins play essential roles in bacterial physiology and virulence, however, automated algorithms for genome annotation are often not yet able to accurately predict the corresponding genes. The accuracy and reliability of genome annotations, particularly for small open reading frames (sORFs),...
