Complementary Ribo-seq approaches map the translatome and provide a small protein census in the foodborne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni - Nature Communications
Bacterial genomes still contain many hidden and uncharacterized genes. Using complementary Ribo-seq approaches, Froschauer, Svensson et al. here annotate start and stop codons of Campylobacter jejuni, reporting a high-resolution translatome and identifying several novel small ORFs in this foodborne pathogen.
