Translational Issues: Should we care?

Matt Halma, Joseph Varon

Studies on N1-methyl-pseudouridylated (m1Ψ) RNA reveal context-dependent changes in translational fidelity. Initial experiments showed no significant difference, but recent research highlights frameshifting and sequence-dependent effects, emphasizing the need for more basic science research before widespread use in mRNA vaccines.
