[Nov 25th 2020] LabMeeting: LSTM for the prediction of the translation speed based on Ribosome Profiling

Caterina Graziani (University of Siena) Nov 25, 2020 – 11:00 – 12:30 AM Conference Meeting Description Ribosome profiling (Ribo-seq profiling) is a powerful tool for studying the translational control of gene expression. The translational profile of an RNA sequence is estimated by counting the occurrences of its subsequences in ribosome footprints. The translational speed of […]
