Novel functional sequence elements that control these rates are identified, and the contribution of individual nucleotides is quantified. Philipp Eser, Leonhard Wachutka, Kerstin C Maier, Carina Demel, Mariana Boroni, Srignanakshi Iyer, Patrick Cramer, and Julien Gagneur Published online 16.02.2016 Positional proteomics reveals differences in N‐terminal proteoform stability Alternative translation initiation and co‐translational initiator methionine removal contribute to the increased complexity of the human proteome by generating multiple N‐terminal proteoforms that can show differences in cellular stability. Daria Gawron, Elvis Ndah, Kris Gevaert, and Petra Van Damme Published online 18.02.2016 Coupling spatial segregation with synthetic circuits to control bacterial survival “Microbial swarmbots”, a platform technology integrating programmed density sensing by synthetic circuits and spatial confinement by encapsulation achieves efficient and modular control of population dynamics of engineered bacteria.
