Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Synonymous mutations do not change the protein sequences. Automatically, they have been regarded as neutral events and are ignored in the mutation-based cancer studies. However, synonymous mutations will change the codon optimality, resulting in altered translational velocity. METHODS: We fully utilized the transcriptome and translatome of liver cancer and normal tissue from ten patients. We profiled...
