Abstract
Advancements in peptidomics have revealed numerous small open reading frames with coding potential and revealed that some of these micropeptides are closely related to human cancer. However, the systematic analysis and integration from sequence to structure and function remains largely undeveloped. Here, as a solution, we built a workflow for the collection and analysis of proteomic data, transcriptomic data, and clinical outcomes for cancer-associated micropeptides using publicly available datasets from large cohorts. We initially identified 19 586 novel micropeptides by reanalyzing proteomic profile data from 3753 samples across 8 cancer types. Further quantitative analysis of these micropeptides, along with associated clinical data, identified 3065 that were dysregulated in cancer, with 370 of them showing a strong association with prognosis. Moreover, we employed a deep learning framework to construct a micropeptide-protein interaction network for further bioinformatics analysis, revealing that micropeptides are involved in multiple biological processes as bioactive molecules. Taken together, our atlas provides a benchmark for high-throughput prediction and functional exploration of micropeptides, providing new insights into their biological mechanisms in cancer.

期刊介绍:
Briefings in Bioinformatics is an international journal serving as a platform for researchers and educators in the life sciences. It also appeals to mathematicians, statisticians, and computer scientists applying their expertise to biological challenges. The journal focuses on reviews tailored for users of databases and analytical tools in contemporary genetics, molecular and systems biology. It stands out by offering practical assistance and guidance to non-specialists in computerized methodologies. Covering a wide range from introductory concepts to specific protocols and analyses, the papers address bacterial, plant, fungal, animal, and human data.
The journal's detailed subject areas include genetic studies of phenotypes and genotypes, mapping, DNA sequencing, expression profiling, gene expression studies, microarrays, alignment methods, protein profiles and HMMs, lipids, metabolic and signaling pathways, structure determination and function prediction, phylogenetic studies, and education and training.
