Detecting ribosome collisions with differential rRNA fragment analysis in ribosome profiling data Abstract. It has become clear in recent years that ribosomes regularly stall during translation. Such translation impairment has many causes, including exp

New paper from the lab! Want to know if there is a difference in ribosome collisions between your samples? We show that you can detect this in the rRNA reads in your ribosome profiling data.
