Proud moment seeing my senior undergraduate mentee training the new undergrads joining the lab 🤩
Here's an excellent STAR protocol for identifying actively translated small open reading frames (smORFs), which is often an initial step to discovering microproteins. Great work from @kcaoscience and @tfmPhD! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Ribo-Seq is a powerful tool to find translating small open reading frames (smORFs), but it's restricted to smORFs without repetitive regions. Here, my colleague developed an integrative proteogenomics + Ribo-Seq approach to find previously missed smORFs. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
I'm thrilled to be part of an incredible lineup and excited to share my work from the @GygiLab on covalent drug discovery for the UPS using multiplexed targeted proteomics!
