Translatomics for mt-DNA, mouse oocytes, and DNA damage response

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, Lareau, C.A et al. find that synonymous mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations can be subject to purifying selection in a cell type–specific manner. Wang, W. […]

Translatomics for age-related cataracts, tumour survival, and SRSF2 mutations

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, Chen et al. find through polysome profiling that the circRNA, circTFRC, is protein coding and is upregulated in the lens epithelial cells of patients […]

10 Questions with Associate Professor Pouya Faridi

Q1. Who inspired you to become a scientist? My middle school biology teacher. He made biology and science in general feel alive, exciting, and full of mystery. I think that was the first time I realised science was not just about memorising facts, but about sometimes asking crazy questions and discovering how life works. Q2. […]

Translatomics for embryogenesis, viral infections and bananas

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, Li, Y. et al. find that tRNA repertoires transition from maternal to embryonic during oocyte to blastocyst change. Talló-Parra, M. et al. find that […]

Translatomics for mito-ribosomes, EIF3D, and selenoprotein

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, Schöndorf, T. et al. through ribosome profiling and cryo-EM of mito-ribosomes show that inner mitochondrial membrane insertion acts as a kinetic checkpoint, coordinating protein […]
