Loved it!
Here's an interesting paper @natmethods.nature.com introducing the term "Translon", filling a terminology gap in the field of gene expression. Kudos to Pasha Baranov for leading this initiative and gathering many contributors (including myself) for an healthy discussion on fundamental principles 👏
Many transcriptome regions are translated but not known to encode proteins. They remain poorly annotated and thus under studied, partly due to the lack of terminology for these features.
In @natmethods.nature.com we propose using "Translon" for any region decoded by the ribosome
