Many transcriptome regions are translated but not known to encode proteins. They remain poorly annotated and thus under studied, partly due to the lack of terminology for these features.
In @naturemethods we propose using "Translon" for any region decoded by the ribosome
A large consortium of researchers introduces the term 'translon' to denote any transcriptome region that is decoded by ribosomes.

Thrilled to present our manuscript identifying an alternative selenocysteine (Sec) metabolism pathway! 🚀 PRDX6, not just SCLY, can mediate Sec metabolization, playing a key role in ferroptosis response. Congrats to all authors!#Metabolism#Ferroptosis
It's official! Excited to be co-organizing the @FASEBorg conference on “Ferroptosis, Oxidative Stress, and Lipid Metabolism: From Mechanisms to Therapy” w/ Scott Dixon @SJD956 !! Next summer July 27-31 2025! Save the date. More details coming soon. 😀 #Ferroptosis#LipidTime

It always makes me happy to share work I've been doing in the selenium space. This one is particularly special as I teamed up with @kaitlinjday to develop a targeted approach that can be used to investigate the genetic aspects of micronutrients metabolism in health/disease.
