Immagina announces a new edition of the Ribo-Omics Grant Challenge in 2025, supporting cutting edge research projects to study ribosome function, translatome, proteomics and tRNA.
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.
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.
RiboLace, a novel method using a unique puromycin derivative molecule, specifically captures actively translating ribosomes, enabling detailed analysis of genome-wide translation activity at single-nucleotide resolution.
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.
