The paper uses ribosome profiling to analyze translational regulation in Ectocarpus across developmental stages, finding widespread stage- and sex-specific control and post-transcriptional buffering.

The paper investigates natural variation in mouth-form plasticity in Pristionchus pacificus, linking it to genetic and molecular mechanisms involving nonsense-mediated decay and alternative start codon selection.

The paper shows poly(UG)-tailed RNAs induce gene knockdown in Pristionchus pacificus and are abundant in germline-specific genes, with mutations affecting fertility.

The paper shows that XRN1-mediated RNA decay provides nucleotides for alphavirus replication by recycling monophosphate nucleotides through the salvage pathway.

The paper identifies a multivalent RBP-effector interface that enables RNA recognition accuracy and functional repurposing of effector proteins.

This study identifies DAP5 as a factor enabling re-initiation of translation on structured mRNAs with uORFs, particularly for signalling factors.
