Additional file 3:

Observed reading frame distribution of uORFs in mapped 5' UTR. Figure showing the relative frequency of uORF open reading frames with respect to the main ORF reading frame. For those uORFs wholly contained within the 5' UTR there is clearly no bias towards any frame suggesting that there are no likely missannotations of the true ORF start or independent ORFs.

Additional file 4:

Summary statistics for long uORFs greater than 35 amino acids in length. This Excel format file file contains statistics for individual uORFs (one per line) whose length exceeds 35 amino acids. For each uORF, the ORF, ORF length, 5' UTR length, frame and start position are indicated, as well as the total number of uORFs contained in the given 5' UTR.

GoStat over-representation statistics for translationally controlled gene subsets under H2O2 stress. This Figure shows similar over-representation statistics as shown in Figure 5 but for both the butanol stress conditions.

UTR length distributions for different gene sets under stress conditions using tiling array definitions of TSS. Length distributions equivalent to those shown in Figure 6 but using the subset of genes defined by tiling array studies which overlap the differential regulation data sets generated for yeast stress responses used in this study.
