  • Selenoproteins, coding sequences and methods
    Patent number: 6303295
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for the identification of nucleotide sequences which encode selenoproteins. Nucleotide sequences are translated in all potential reading frames, those with a relatively large number of UGA or TGA codons are noted, and frameshift-dependent open reading frames and SECIS elements are identified as associated with selenoprotein coding sequences, especially those within or overlapping known open reading frames. Further provided are selenoprotein coding sequences which are associated with certain viruses (e.g., HIV and Ebola), cancer-related genes and coding sequences related to normal functioning of the immune system.
