The paper identifies conserved microproteins from upstream ORFs in yeast using Ribo-Seq and Nanopore data, showing they are subject to purifying selection.

The paper compares RNA-Seq and Ribo-Seq for gene expression analysis under oxidative stress in baker's yeast, finding Ribo-Seq better correlates with protein abundance.

This study identifies de novo genes in yeast genomes, showing they arise frequently despite compact genomes and some are translated and under selection.
