Towards improving full-length ribosome density prediction by bridging sequence and graph-based representations

Pierre Vandergheynst, Felix Naef, Cédric Gobet, Francesco Craighero, Mohan Vamsi Nallapareddy

Translation elongation plays an important role in regulating protein concentrations in the cell, and dysregulation of this process has been linked to several human diseases. In this study, we use data from ribo-seq experiments to model ribosome densities, ...
