🧬 Excited to share our preprint: Regulatory landscape of widespread stop codon readthrough (SCR) in Drosophila 🪰 Stop codons supposedly mark the end of protein synthesis. Sometimes they don’t: >1,000 Drosophila genes undergo SCR, a process wherein translation continues past the stop.

Regulatory landscape of widespread stop codon readthrough in Drosophila

In stop codon readthrough (SCR), ribosomes continue to translate past the stop. While programmed SCR is rare in mammals, it appears remarkably widespread in insects, yet its regulation and biological ...

🔊We are excited to announce a new Associate Prof (Prof Agregat) at @geneticsub.bsky.social 👏Congratulations to Dr.Marco Mariotti on his new position!He leads the "Comparative Genomics of Gene expression Lab",where his team works to investigate the process of gene expression and protein synthesis.

Here's an interesting paper @natmethods.nature.com introducing the term "Translon", filling a terminology gap in the field of gene expression. Kudos to Pasha Baranov for leading this initiative and gathering many contributors (including myself) for an healthy discussion on fundamental principles 👏

Jack Tierney@jackatierney.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Many transcriptome regions are translated but not known to encode proteins. They remain poorly annotated and thus under studied, partly due to the lack of terminology for these features. In @natmethods.nature.com we propose using "Translon" for any region decoded by the ribosome

We had lots of fun at the #FestaCiènciaUB with our workshop on gene expression! It seems participants loved it too ❤️🧬! Thanks to the lab members, including the iGem UB team, and all the organizers of the event 👏
