Research progress on high throughput discovery and functional verification of functional micropeptides.

With the rapid development of computational biology and deep sequencing technology, more and more studies have shown that a large number of non-classical open reading frames that have not been annotated and hidden in non-coding RNA can encode functional micropeptide. This article reviewed the current research status and technology strategy of gene sources, biological properties, predicted methods and functional verification of micropeptide, providing theoretical and reference basis for the subsequent discovery of micropeptides, research on regulatory mechanisms and development of novel targets and biomarkers.
