Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The correlation between codon and anticodon pools influences the efficiency of translation, but whether differences exist in these pools across individual cells is unknown. We determined that codon usage and amino acid demand are highly stable across different cell types using single-cell RNA-sequencing atlases of adult mouse and fetal human. After demonstrating the robustness of ATAC-sequencing for analysis of tRNA gene usage, we quantified anticodon usage and amino acid supply in adult mouse and fetal human single-cell ATAC-seq atlases. We found that tRNA gene usage is overall coordinated across cell types, except in neurons which clustered separately from other cell types. Integration of these datasets revealed a strong and statistically significant correlation between amino acid supply and demand across almost all cell types. Neurons have an enhanced translation efficiency over other cell types, driven by an increased supply of tRNA (AGC) anticodons. This results in faster decoding of the Ala-GCC codon, as determined by cell-type specific ribosome profiling, and a reduction of tRNA (AGC) anticodon pools may be implicated in neurological pathologies. This study, the first such examination of codon usage, anticodon usage, and translation efficiency at single-cell resolution, identifies conserved features of translation elongation across mammalian cellular diversity and evolution.
