Functional profiling of stage-specific proteome and translational transition across human pre-implantation embryo...

Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.
The technique...

Comparative Development of Embryos Did you know that the embryos of fish, birds, and humans all look surprisingly similar in their early stages? This is because many animals share common ancestors, and these similarities during development provide important evidence for evolution. By studying how embryos of different species develop, scientists can see patterns that show how living things are connected, even if they look very different as adults.Comparative embryology helps explain how species...

A proteome is the entire set of proteins that a cell type produces. We can study proteomes using the knowledge of genomes because genes code for mRNAs, and the mRNAs encode proteins. Although mRNA analysis is a step in the right direction, not all mRNAs are translated into proteins.
Proteomics is the study of proteomes' function. It involves the large-scale systematic study of the proteome to denote the protein complement expressed by a genome. Scientist Mark Wilkins coined the term...
