Evolutionary emergence and preservation of microproteins encoded by upstream ORFs

The paper identifies conserved microproteins from upstream ORFs in yeast using Ribo-Seq and Nanopore data, showing they are subject to purifying selection.

Arbovirus persistence in mosquitoes is characterized by translation repression of viral RNAs

This study shows that arboviruses like CHIKV and ZIKV persist in mosquito cells by repressing viral RNA translation without overtly altering host translation, suggesting a general RNAi-independent mechanism.

Identification and characterization of novel bat coronaviruses in Spain

This study identifies six novel bat coronaviruses in Spain, three of which are potentially new species, and finds one can use human ACE2 receptor, indicating zoonotic potential.

Translational repression of viral RNA mediates arbovirus persistence in mosquitoes

The paper investigates how arboviruses like chikungunya virus maintain persistent infections in mosquito cells through translational repression of viral RNA without affecting host cell fitness.

A dynamic equilibrium between TTP and CPEB4 controls mRNA stability and inflammation resolution

The paper shows that CPEB4 and TTP regulate mRNA stability during inflammation resolution through competing polyadenylation and deadenylation, shaping the inflammatory response.

Extensive post-transcriptional buffering of gene expression in the response to oxidative stress in baker yeast

The paper compares RNA-Seq and Ribo-Seq for gene expression analysis under oxidative stress in baker's yeast, finding Ribo-Seq better correlates with protein abundance.
