End-to-end pipeline for differential analysis of pausing in ribosome profiling data
Summary: Ribosome profiling is a powerful technique which maps the distribution of ribosomes along mRNAs to analyze translation genome-wide. Ribosome density can be affected by multiple factors, such as changes to translation initiation or elongation rates. We describe the application of a metric fo...

| Summary: | Summary: Ribosome profiling is a powerful technique which maps the distribution of ribosomes along mRNAs to analyze translation genome-wide. Ribosome density can be affected by multiple factors, such as changes to translation initiation or elongation rates. We describe the application of a metric for identifying genes rate-limited by these rates by analyzing the relative distribution of ribosome footprints along transcripts. This protocol also details two sample analyses comparing gene translation efficiencies and the distribution of ribosome densities on downloadable datasets.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Flanagan et al. (2022). : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics. |
