SummaryVariants in 5UTR regions that create upstream translation initiation AUG codons are a class of neglected non coding variations. When they associate with a premature stop codon and create upstream open reading frames (uORFs) whose translation competes with that of natural proteins, they can have strong impact on human diseases. We here describe MORFEE, a new bioinformatics tool that detects, annotates and predicts, from a standard VCF file, the creation of uORF by any 5UTR variants on uORF creation. MORFEE was applied to two genomic resources and identified candidate functional variants that could explain statistical association signals observed in the context of Genome Wide Association Studies or could be responsible for rare forms of diseases. In conclusion MORFEE is an easy-to-use tool complementary to existing ones that can help resolving genetic investigations that remained so far unfruitful. Availability and implementationMORFEE is written in R with code and package available at https://github.com/daissi/MORFEE.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
