Poxviruses (family Poxviridae) have long dsDNA genomes and infect a wide range of hosts,
including insects, birds, reptiles and mammals. These viruses have substantial incidence …

Biochemistry textbooks describe eukaryotic mRNAs as monocistronic. However, increasing
evidence reveals the widespread presence and translation of upstream open reading …

In this work, we present a straightforward model to study gene expression regulation from
virus-like bicistronic mRNAs in human cells, composed by a short shble upstream ORF and …

Recent discoveries establish tRNAs as central regulators of mRNA translation dynamics,
and therefore cotranslational folding and function of the encoded protein. The tRNA pool …

Gene paralogs are copies of an ancestral gene that appear after gene or full genome
duplication. When two sister gene copies are maintained in the genome, redundancy may …
