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.

SMN-primed ribosomes modulate the translation of transcripts related to Spinal Muscular Atrophy

TL;DR: Survival Motor Neuron protein, loss of which causes the neuromuscular disease spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), binds to ribosomes and that this interaction is tissue-dependent, demonstrating a crucial role in the regulation of ribosome fluxes along mRNAs which encode proteins relevant to SMA pathogenesis.

The frontier of RNA metamorphosis and ribosome signature in neocortical development

TL;DR: This review focuses on the regulatory role of the ribosome in neocortical development, and construct a current understanding of how ribosomal complex specificity may contribute to the development of the neocortex.

Three decades of ASD genetics: building a foundation for neurobiological understanding and treatment.

TL;DR: In the case of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), microarrays, whole exome sequencing (WES) and whole genome sequencing have yielded over a hundred causal loci as mentioned in this paper.

Normal CA1 place fields but discoordinated network discharge in a Fmr1-null mouse model of fragile X syndrome

TL;DR: Findings point to invariant tuning of single-cell responses and inadequate discharge coordination within neural ensembles as a pathophysiological basis of cognitive inflexibility in FXS.

Translational Regulation of NeuroD1 Expression by FMRP: Involvement in Glutamatergic Neuronal Differentiation of Cultured Rat Primary Neural Progenitor Cells

TL;DR: This study suggests that modulation of FMRP expression regulates neuronal differentiation by interaction with its binding target mRNA, and provides an example of the gene and environmental interaction regulating glutamatergic neuronal differentiation.

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.

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.
