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.

The Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein Regulates Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 mRNA at Synapses

TL;DR: It is proposed that a local effect of MMP-9 mRNA translation at synapses can contribute to the aberrant dendritic spine morphology observed in the Fmr1 knock-out mice and in patients with FXS.

RNA-binding proteins in neurodegeneration: Seq and you shall receive.

TL;DR: Development of high-throughput sequencing methodologies provides unparalleled potential to discover new mechanisms of disease-associated perturbations of RNA homeostasis, and complementary to candidate single-gene studies, these innovative technologies may elicit the discovery of unexpected mechanisms.

Fragile X mental retardation 1 gene enhances the translation of large autism-related proteins.

TL;DR: Ribosome profiling of oocytes identified a specific role for FMR1 in enhancing the translation of large proteins, including many associated with autism, and acts preferentially on large proteins.

The m6A-epitranscriptomic signature in neurobiology: from neurodevelopment to brain plasticity.

TL;DR: Insight is provided into the roles of m6A in regulating brain function, from development to synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory, and how aberrant m 6A signaling may contribute to neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric 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.

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.
