This study improves CRISPR/Cas9 off-target prediction by integrating DNABERT with epigenetic features, showing better performance than existing models.

The paper identifies conserved upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in animal genomes and finds seven novel regulatory uORFs that repress main ORF translation.

The paper introduces a pipeline called ESUCA to identify conserved upstream ORFs (CPuORFs) across multiple plant species and finds that many of these CPuORFs are functionally conserved.
