Members of the Laboratory of Translatomics, led by Agata Starosta, described the transcriptome and translatome of the Bacillus subtilis during sporulation. The authors used a combination of high-throughput sequencing of the transcriptome (RNA-seq) and translatome (RIBO-seq, ribosome profiling) and confocal microscopy to monitor the translatome and translational machinery during sporulation. The authors monitored ribosome localization, (…)
