The paper identifies extended Shine-Dalgarno motifs in S. aureus that govern translation initiation, revealing species-specific mechanisms and regulatory features.

This paper improves 3D cryo-EM reconstructions by explicitly correcting non-uniform distributions of 2D projections using the VUE program.

This study identifies RlmQ, a methyltransferase in Staphylococcus aureus responsible for a unique rRNA modification, and shows its impact on bacterial growth and virulence.
