Systematic analysis of noncanonical ribosomal protein paralogs does not provide evidence for specialized functions in Drosophila

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 122, Issue 49, December 2025. <br/>SignificanceRibosomes produce all proteins and as such are essential. Mounting evidence indicates that ribosomes can differ in composition between tissues by incorporating ribosomal protein (RP) paralogs encoded by duplicated genes. This led to the “…
