Oocyte-stored Mif promotes preimplantation development as an embryonic extracellular signal

This study identifies Mif as an oocyte-stored protein that promotes preimplantation embryo development through extracellular signaling, showing its role in blastocyst growth and density-dependent effects.

Protein Arginine Methylation of the Translation Initiation Factor eIF1A Increases Usage of a Near-cognate Start Codon

The paper identifies eIF1A methylation sites and shows that methylation at R13 and R14 improves start codon recognition fidelity in yeast.

Lipid monounsaturation confers cold tolerance and improves tissue viability during hypothermic storage

This study identifies lipid mono-unsaturation as a mechanism for cold tolerance in frogs and shows its potential to improve tissue viability during hypothermic storage.

De Novo Annotation And Characterization Of The Translatome With Ribosome Profiling Data

This paper introduces RiboCode, a method for de novo translatome annotation using ribosome profiling data, showing improved efficiency, sensitivity, and accuracy in identifying novel ORFs across different yeast stress conditions.
