Localities of sORFs in the genome and transcripts. Genomic locations of sORFs include in the 3’ UTR (uORF), 5’ UTR (dORF), overlapping within the main ORF, intergenic regions and pseudogenes. sORF-containing long intergenic non-coding RNA (lincRNA) are also localised in the nucleus. In the mitochondria, sORFs are found in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). In the cytoplasm, sORFs are scattered across different RNA transcripts i.e., circular RNA (circRNA), long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), and pri-microRNA
