10 Questions with Professor André Gerber

Q1. Who inspired you to become a scientist? As a child, I discovered a chemistry programme on TV that I loved watching. I then received a chemistry kit and set up my first “lab” in the shed next to our house. Altogether, these early experiences – and possibly a film about Marie Curie – founded […]

Translatomics for circRNAs, rtSPIRE1 and G3BP1 cleavage

Recent Publications Harnessing the Power of Translatomics Every week we provide a digest of a small number of recent interesting papers in the field of translatomics. In this week’s Sunday papers, Yang et al. find using rats as model organisms, that a set of circRNAs are involved in development of the CNS and spinal cord repair. Polysome […]

Translatomics for mitochondria, bacteria, and yeast

Recent Publications Harnessing the Power of Translatomics Every week we provide a digest of a small number of recent interesting papers in the field of translatomics. In this week’s Sunday papers, Zhao et al. show that Stuxnet regulates Uhg5 and parkin to balance mitochondrial translation, mitophagy, and sleep, with implications for neurodegeneration. Choi et al. […]

Translatomics for mRNA, polyadenylation, and virus

Recent Publications Harnessing the Power of Translatomics Every week we provide a digest of a small number of recent interesting papers in the field of translatomics. In this week’s Sunday papers, Murakami et al. shows that m6A-driven mRNA decay is tightly coupled to translation, where ribosome stalling and collision at m6A sites promotes YTHDF-dependent degradation, […]

Translatomics for sORF, micropeptide and tRNA

Recent Publications Harnessing the Power of Translatomics Every week we provide a digest of a small number of recent interesting papers in the field of translatomics. In this week’s Sunday papers, Yang et al. combine ribo-seq and proteomics to distinguish translated and stable functional peptides. Cao et al. reveal hidden translational suppression of meiosis genes, […]
