tRNA fragments (tRFs) are powerful regulators in cancer biology. They reshape gene expression and influence disease progression in ways we’re only beginning to understand.
Are you ready to uncover their hidden role?
Translation regulates gene expression and function. The study explores tRNA expression and translation in bovine tissues, having identified tissue-specific gene modulation and pausing sites. These were shown to influence translation and protein folding.
Existing RNA sequencing struggles with 3' phosphate ends. circAID-p-seq, a new method, solves this for phospho-RNA sequencing, like ribosome profiling. It allows studying ribosomal footprints and potentially other 3'-phosphate RNA molecules.
A mouse model for MHC-I antigens isolation from specific cells in tumors. Antigen expression doesn't always match mRNA levels, suggesting new cancer vaccine targets & need for better prediction methods. Model works in various tissues & diseases.
3' modifications (phosphate, cyclic phosphate) on RNA (mRNA, rRNA, tRNA) are not dead ends but can be functional molecules in RNA metabolism & stress response. Standard RNA-seq misses them. tRNA fragments (tiRNAs) can be an example.
Current methods miss details of active protein production. RiboLace isolates active ribosomes without tags, offering better data quality with less sample. It even captures disomes, potentially revealing new aspects of translation and disease links.
