Evaluating the reliability of tools for mRNA annotation and IRES studies

Gemma May, Christina Akirtava, C. Joel McManus

A back-splicing circRNA reporter yields linear trans-spliced artifacts; in orthogonal assays three reported cellular IRESes are inactive, and Iso-Seq 5' ends agree with nAnT-iCAGE start sites.

Suppression of upstream ORF translation is not a widespread mechanism of translational stimulation by yeast helicase Ded1

Rakesh Kumar, Gemma May, Neelam Dabas Sen, C. Joel McManus, Alan G. Hinnebusch

The paper shows that Ded1 in yeast primarily stimulates translation by unwinding 5' UTR structures, not by suppressing upstream ORF translation.
