Determinants of translation elongation speed and ribosomal profiling biases in mouse embryonic stem cells.

Ribosomal profiling is a promising approach with increasing popularity for studying translation. This approach enables monitoring the ribosomal density along genes at a resolution of single nucleotides.In this study, we focused on ribosomal density profiles of mouse embryonic stem cells. Our analysi...
