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.

Disome and Trisome Profiling Reveal Genome-wide Targets of Ribosome Quality Control.

TL;DR: The results suggest that Hel2 has a role in sensing ribosome collisions on endogenous mRNAs, and such events may be important for cellular homeostasis.

Evolution of complexity in the zebrafish synapse proteome.

TL;DR: While the TSGD increases overall synapse proteome complexity, the postsynaptic density (PSD) proteome of zebrafish has lower complexity than mammals and lineage-specific proteome differences indicate that vertebrates evolved distinct synapse types and functions.

Cellular and synaptic network defects in autism

TL;DR: A common thread in the organization of glutamatergic synapses is illustrated and a link between genes involved in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex, Fragile X syndrome, Angelman syndrome and several synaptic ASD candidate genes is suggested.

Drug discovery for autism spectrum disorder: challenges and opportunities

TL;DR: A conceptual framework for drug discovery in ASD is proposed encompassing target identification, drug profiling and considerations for clinical trials in this novel area, starting with drugs for fragile X syndrome and tuberous sclerosis.

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.
