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.

A developmental, longitudinal investigation of autism phenotypic profiles in fragile X syndrome.

TL;DR: ASD symptoms increased in FXS with age, and social language impairment emerged as a potential core shared feature of FXS and ASD that may help elucidate underlying molecular genetic variation related to phenotypic variance, and aid intervention planning for subgroups of children showing distinct phenotypes.

Elevated ERK/p90 ribosomal S6 kinase activity underlies audiogenic seizure susceptibility in fragile X mice.

TL;DR: RSK is identified as a therapeutic target for fragile X and the therapeutic potential of drugs for the treatment of FXS may vary in a brain-region–specific manner, as evidenced by the site of elevated phosphorylation and the finding that ERK inhibition corrects elevated RSK and S6 activity.

Toward a Genome-Wide Landscape of Translational Control

TL;DR: Genome-wide studies that use high-throughput techniques and bioinformatics to assess the role of mRNA translation in the regulation of protein levels are reviewed and how genome-wide data on mRNA translation can be obtained, analyzed, and used to identify mechanisms of translational control are discussed.

Digital expression profiling of the compartmentalized translatome of Purkinje neurons

TL;DR: This work combined microdissection, translating ribosome affinity purification in nontransgenic animals, and quantitative nanoCAGE sequencing to obtain a snapshot of RNAs bound to cytoplasmic or rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER)-associated ribosomes in the PC and its dendrites, which allowed it to discover novel markers of PCs.

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.
