Ribosome profiling reveals translation control as a key mechanism generating differential gene expression in Trypanosoma cruzi

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Due to the absence of transcription initiation regulation of protein coding genes transcribed by RNA polymerase II, posttranscriptional regulation is responsible for the majority of gene expression changes in trypanosomatids. Therefore, cataloging the abundance of mRNAs (transcriptome) and the level of their translation (translatome) is a key step to understand control of gene expression in these...
