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.

Evaluating historical candidate genes for schizophrenia.

TL;DR: The historical candidate gene literature did not yield clear insights into the genetic basis of schizophrenia, and the considerable efforts embodied in these early studies unquestionably set the stage for current successes in genomic approaches to schizophrenia.

Genetic Removal of p70 S6 Kinase 1 Corrects Molecular, Synaptic, and Behavioral Phenotypes in Fragile X Syndrome Mice

TL;DR: The model that dysregulated protein synthesis is the key causal factor in Fragile X syndrome and that restoration of normal translation can stabilize peripheral and neurological function in FXS is supported.

Remote Control of Gene Function by Local Translation

TL;DR: Key findings in this area are discussed and possible implications of this adaptable and swift mechanism for spatial control of gene function are discussed.

Local protein synthesis is a ubiquitous feature of neuronal pre- and postsynaptic compartments

TL;DR: In the absence of overt stimulation, there was a notably high level of ongoing protein synthesis in both pre- and postsynaptic compartments, including excitatory and inhibitory axon terminals.

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.
