Single-cell methods in translation and post-transcriptional regulation. Postdoc @_Hubrecht with @AlexandervanOu1 π³π±. PhD @ubcmsl with Carl Hansen π¨π¦
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 @naturemethods we propose using "Translon" for any region decoded by the ribosome
Several new technologies have enabled translation profiling in single cells. In our article in @NatRevMCB, @AlexandervanOu1 and I discuss these single-cell methods for measuring ribosome profiles, ribosome-associated transcripts, and spatial translation π§΅ nature.com/articles/s41580-0β¦
In addition to these methods to profile translation in single cells, there are also several single-cell technologies to measure mRNA features that regulate translation. There wasnβt space to go into detail, but we also included a brief overview of these methods
How does aging alter the translational landscape of stem cells and how do these changes impact their regenerative capacity? Here we developed an in vivo single-cell ribosome profiling strategy to monitor translational landscapes of the mouse skin. 1/6

Two new lab papers: In the first paper we develop Stopless-ORF circRNAs (socRNAs), a technique to measure translation by individual ribosomes with incredible precision. Amazing work jointly led by @MadernMax and @_SoraY.

In the second new paper from the lab, we use socRNAs to compare either single or multiple ribosomes on an mRNA and find that ribosomes help each other out during translation to overcome obstacles. Amazing work jointly led by @MadernMax and @_SoraY

What happens when cells stop assemblying nucleosomes during DNA replication?
We used CAF-1-degron human cells to answer this question, and look at the immediate effects within a single cell cycle. π§΅β¬οΈ
