![]() ![]() Thus, our data suggest that pervasive translation of short ORFs in Mycobacterium tuberculosis serves as a rich source for the evolution of new functional proteins. Nevertheless, we identify 90 new ORFs (median length of 52 codons) that bear the hallmarks of purifying selection. ![]() Codon usage of the newly discovered ORFs suggests that most have not been subject to purifying selection, and hence are unlikely to contribute to cell fitness. The newly described ORFs are predominantly short, with many encoding proteins of ≤50 amino acids. tuberculosis transcriptome is pervasively translated. Most of the ORFs we identify have not been previously described, indicating that the M. Here, we use ribosome profiling approaches to identify actively translated ORFs in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, these algorithms often fail to identify ORFs lacking canonical features such as a length of >50 codons or the presence of an upstream Shine-Dalgarno sequence. Read about Aaron’s internship experience at AAT.Most bacterial ORFs are identified by automated prediction algorithms. That’s it from me this week, but keep an eye out for my next blog post ? You know what they say, time flies when you are having fun! In conclusion, I am extremely happy with the people I work with and the assignments that I’ve been set, and I can already tell that the next eight weeks are going to fly by. So it’s been a very productive week, from attending meetings in The Leadenhall Building (aka “The Cheese Grater”) to sitting in conference meetings with the economist at TSB and viewing forecasts. So far I’ve been given a few different assignments to complete, some of which include research, gathering data to further my knowledge within this field, producing PowerPoint presentations, which have been used in meetings, and analyses of daily and weekly sales presented in spreadsheet and graphs. So what do I do here? I am a part of the Product and Digital team at TSB. It just adds to the experience and makes me feel like a professional. I settled in very quickly and feel very privileged to have my own work laptop. It’s surreal, all the colleagues here are incredibly friendly, kind and, most importantly, they’ve been welcoming. ![]() The first few days in the office have surprised me – the environment, the people, the atmosphere. Well, that’s a short summary about me and why we are here. I am so grateful to experience and be a part of their amazing events. I truly mean it when I say that words cannot describe my appreciation of coming into contact with The Brokerage. So let’s all take a minute to really embrace how lucky we are to be a part of their 2019 internship programme and to be sitting in our wheelie chairs at a desk in the middle of the City. So what brought us all together and who do we have to thank for that? The answer is very simple. With the work experience I’ve had in that field, I feel I have made the right decision. You can’t imagine what I went through to make that huge decision! But with that all said, I am extremely happy I’ve made that change. ![]() However, I am happy to say that I survived those lengthy exams and proud that I made it! After doing all the sciences, I have now decided I would like to pursue a career in finance. I was so brave after I finished GCSE’s that I decided to take maths, biology and chemistry for A-levels. My name is Priyanka Mistry and I’ve just finished college, just like the other interns taking part in this amazing adventure. I am so thankful for crossing paths with The Brokerage, because if I hadn’t, I would not be sitting at a desk with a beautiful view writing this blog on a laptop that I was given for the duration of this internship. So, we are all here at TSB thanks to The Brokerage, a charity that has been helping young people gain experiences of work, employability skills and jobs for over 20 years, through its partnerships with employers. My name is Priyanka and, like the rest of the team, I’ve finally finished the lengthy exam period of A-levels * gives a sigh of relief*. Welcome to my blog where I will take you through my journey of working at TSB. It’s finally arrived – the first week of working in the Square Mile, or the City of London as it’s otherwise known. ![]()
