About definition of ORFs #130

Jiahuan90 commented 1 year ago

Hi, I find Ribotricer is really helpful for me to detect uORFs/dORFs on ribo-seq data.

However, I have a question about super_uORFs and ORFs, I have read the manual carefully, what is the difference between super_uORFs and uORFs? I don't recognize the difference between the two definition. Could you give me an example?

Thank you for your kindly help!!

super_uORF is the first uORF - most upstream of the CDS. uORFs are all remaining uORFs. Hope this helps, please feel free to reopen with any follow of questions.
