FMRP stalls ribosomal translocation on mRNAs linked to synaptic function and autism

TLDR
A brain polyribosome-programmed translation system is developed, revealing that FMRP reversibly stalls ribosomes specifically on its target mRNAs and suggests multiple targets for clinical intervention in FXS and ASD.

Novel RNA- and FMRP-binding protein TRF2-S regulates axonal mRNA transport and presynaptic plasticity.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a non-telomeric isoform of telomere repeat-binding factor 2 (TRF2-S) is a novel RBP that regulates axonal plasticity and suggests a pivotal role for TRF1-S in an axonal mRNA localization pathway that enhances axon outgrowth and neurotransmitter release.

Fragile X syndrome neurobiology translates into rational therapy.

TL;DR: The targeted pathways converge in part with those of related neurodevelopmental disorders raising hopes that the treatments developed for this specific disorder might be more broadly applicable.

Novel roles of amyloid-beta precursor protein metabolites in fragile X syndrome and autism.

TL;DR: The contribution of APP metabolites to FXS and autism pathogenesis as well as the potential use of these metabolites as blood-based biomarkers and therapeutic targets are discussed.

Parallel Social Information Processing Circuits Are Differentially Impacted in Autism

TL;DR: The first comprehensive characterization of magnocellular and parvocellular oxytocin neurons in male mice is provided, validated across anatomical, projection target, electrophysiological, and transcriptional criteria.

Regional brain volumes changes in adult male FMR1-KO mouse on the FVB strain.

TL;DR: Brain volumes in FMR1 knockout male mice on a FVB background are examined using high resolution (multi-channel 7.0Tesla) MRI to observe multiple differences in the neuroanatomy and highlight the importance of genetic strain contribution to brain structure.

Controlling the false discovery rate: a practical and powerful approach to multiple testing

TL;DR: In this paper, a different approach to problems of multiple significance testing is presented, which calls for controlling the expected proportion of falsely rejected hypotheses -the false discovery rate, which is equivalent to the FWER when all hypotheses are true but is smaller otherwise.

Systematic and integrative analysis of large gene lists using DAVID bioinformatics resources.

TL;DR: By following this protocol, investigators are able to gain an in-depth understanding of the biological themes in lists of genes that are enriched in genome-scale studies.

Biometery: The principles and practice of statistics in biological research

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model for the analysis of variance in a single-classification and two-way and multiway analysis of Variance with the assumption of correlation.

Linear Models and Empirical Bayes Methods for Assessing Differential Expression in Microarray Experiments

TL;DR: The hierarchical model of Lonnstedt and Speed (2002) is developed into a practical approach for general microarray experiments with arbitrary numbers of treatments and RNA samples and the moderated t-statistic is shown to follow a t-distribution with augmented degrees of freedom.
