This level was assayed by computing the ratio of footprints in every 3'UTR relative to its respective main ORF within the coding sequence (density ratio, 3'UTR:ORF) for each transcript . The similarity in the effects suggests that translation of non-canonical regions occurs when RNase L is activated via naturally produced 2-5A from broad activation of the antiviral response by double-stranded RNAs. It should be noted that poly I:C treatment did result in slightly elevated 3'UTR ribosome footprints on some genes in a RNase L KO cell line (Supplemental Figure 4A ). ./cache/cord-103377-j1mmx7k7.txt ./txt/cord-103377-j1mmx7k7.txt
