Project description:The canonical role of eEF1A is to deliver the aminoacyl tRNA to the ribosome, we have used the yeast model system to investigate further roles for this protein. We used microarray to study the transcriptomic effects of elevated levels of eEF1A on yeast cells during log phase growth
Project description:Here, we use ribosome-footprint profiing and mRNA-seq to determine the average ribosome density on each gene in S. cerevisiae. We then perform quantitative modeling to identify the molecular determinants of ribosome density.
Project description:Ribosome profiling of synchronous, non-arrested yeast cells identifies translational control of lipid biosynthesis enzymes in the cell cycle
