Ribosome-inactivating proteins from symbiotic bacteria leave their hosts unharmed.

New research suggests that the cells’ protein factories have preferences for specific messenger RNAs they translate. 

An analysis of human cancer genome projects uncovers a counterintuitive loss of ribosomal gene copies.

Feeding-fasting rhythms and light-dark cycles direct regular changes in organ and cell size, as well as ribosome number and protein levels.

Traditional stop codons have a double meaning in the protozoans' mRNA, sometimes calling for an amino acid during translation.

Newly developed techniques from four different groups rely on the same basic steps to track translation in live cells.

Researchers scour the genome for micropeptides encoded within RNAs presumed to function in a noncoding capacity.

Bits of the transcriptome once believed to function as RNA molecules are in fact translated into small proteins.

Scientists build a specialized ribosome with linked subunits that can translate designer transcripts in bacteria.

Multiple consecutive adenosine nucleotides can cause protein translation machinery to stall on messenger RNAs.
