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.

Conservation of uORF repressiveness and sequence features in mouse, human and zebrafish

TL;DR: Analysis of transcript sequences and ribosome profiling data from human, mouse and zebrafish finds that uORFs are depleted near coding sequences (CDSes) and have initiation contexts that diminish their translation, suggesting that the prevalence of vertebrate UORFs may be explained by their conserved role in repressing CDS translation.

Reactivation of stalled polyribosomes in synaptic plasticity

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for a second mechanism whereby synaptic mRNAs are repressed at elongation/termination awaiting translational reactivation upon appropriate synaptic signals, and metabotropic glutamate receptor activation allows the synthesis of proteins that lead to a functional long-term depression phenotype when translation initiation has been greatly reduced.

Deletion of TOP3β, a component of FMRP-containing mRNPs, contributes to neurodevelopmental disorders

TL;DR: It is found that the enrichment of a rare chromosome 22q11.22 deletion in a recently expanded Northern Finnish sub-isolate enabled the detection of association between TOP3B and both schizophrenia and cognitive impairment and suggests that it is involved in neurodevelopmental disorders.

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.
