This post is to pioneer our plant:

bacteria translational response program:
specifically, to tease apart host responses specific to penetration of the bacterial injectisome from innate immune responses, through the use of genetic mutants and ribosome profiling (see our recent work on using this technology for the discovery of plant RNA ThermoSwitches: PMID , and the revelation of miRNA-mediated translational regulation in plants: PMID Good molecular biology background essential. Bioinformatic skills are preferred but not essential.
