Abstract:Translational ramp sequences are essential regulatory elements that have yet to be characterized in specific tissues. Ramp sequences increase gene expression by evenly spacing ribosomes and slowing initial translation. Therefore, the relative codon adaptiveness within different tissues changes the existence of a ramp sequence without altering the underlying genetic code. Here, we present the first comprehensive analysis of tissue and cell type-specific ramp sequences, and report 3,108 genes with ramp sequences… Show more
