Check out our new work now published in G3! We use proteomics and phosphoproteomics to study how cells cope with tRNA variants that mis-insert amino acids.
Using proteomics approaches, @matthewberg22.bsky.social et al. show how mistranslating tRNAs in #yeast alter the abundance and phosphorylation of proteins involved in proteostasis, cell cycle, and translation.

Question for the #proteomics community 👇

What should proteomics repositories be doing today (use cases, features, research) that we’re currently missing? Would love your input—RT to reach more voices.

Our latest article is out in Cell !

Together with the Zernicka-Goetz lab, we show that fertilization triggers proteomic asymmetry in mammalian zygotes, giving rise to alpha vs. beta 2-cell blastomeres with distinct developmental potential.

I remember fondly how much fun we had with the data analysis, especially when we first identified the consistent proteomic differences between sister blastomeres.

Our results exemplify why direct protein analysis is key to discovering and understanding biological mechanisms.

The effects of genetic variants primarily occur in differentiated cells meaning we need to access these cell types to measure variant effects for most disease genes. We developed saturation genome editing in stem cells (iPSC-SGE) to enable phenotyping in diverse genetic and cell contexts at scale!

Excited to share our latest work on the factors that determine what genes we find (and don't find!) in GWAS and burden tests.

We describe a critical concept that we call *specificity*.

Led by Jeff Spence and Hakhamanesh Mostafavi:
How do GWAS and rare variant burden tests rank gene signals?

In new work @nature.com with @hakha.bsky.social, @jkpritch.bsky.social, and our wonderful coauthors we find that the key factors are what we call Specificity, Length, and Luck!
