Quantitative analysis of tRNA abundance and modifications by nanopore RNA sequencing.
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) play a central role in protein translation. Studying them has been difficult in part because a simple method to simultaneously quantify their abundance and chemical modifications is lacking. Here we introduce Nano-tRNAseq, a nanopore-based approach to sequence native tRNA populations that provides quantitative estimates of both...

ccSOL omics: large-scale prediction of protein solubility, aggregation and folding
The ccSOL webserver provides large-scale calculations for protein solubility using physical-chemical properties. In addition to the proteome wide identification of soluble fragments on a large scale, ccSOL omics also performs single-point mutations throughout the whole protein sequence to identify susceptible areas. Using information from coil/disorder...
