“…We obtained the population SNP data from multiple species. These SNP data include the human 1000 genome (Kuehn, 2008 ), Drosophila genetic reference panel (Mackay et al, 2012 ), 1000 genome project of Arabidopsis thaliana (Alonso-Blanco et al, 2016 ; Chu and Wei, 2021a ; Wei, 2020 ), and the SNPs called from millions of global SARS-CoV-2 sequences available in GISAID or relevant literatures (Cai et al, 2022 ; Li et al, 2020b ; Liu et al, 2022 ; Martignano et al, 2022 ; Shu and McCauley, 2017 ; Wei, 2022 ; Zhao et al, 2022 ; Zhu et al, 2022 ; Zong et al, 2022 ). We utilized these SNP data to test whether the mutations that abolish uORFs are most deleterious.…”
