### We are pleased to announce that the **TRANSLACORE COST Action 21154** is organizing a 3-day training school in Stockholm, Sweden, 24-26 August 2026.


This 3-day event includes training activities with didactic teaching and hands-on practical sessions and discussion. It provides an introduction to the use of bioinformatics and biostatistics for analysis of mRNA translation at a transcriptome-wide scale.

English is the working language of this training. Primary learning objectives of the school are that participants:

- Become familiar with methods for studies of mRNA translation at a transcriptome-wide scale;
- Gain insights into how to design studies using these methods;
- Learn how to assess quality of data sets (iv) gain hands-one knowledge of how to analyze transcriptome-wide data sets of mRNA translation to identify alterations in gene expression arising via changes in translation (v) gain hands-on knowledge of how to identify, evaluate, integrate and model cis-regulatory RNA elements underlying translation patterns.

The first two days will focus on basic understanding and application of methods to study transcriptome-wide alterations in mRNA translation while the third day will allow participants to analyze their own data sets (please see the agenda).

**Agenda:**

- Day 1 morning: Lectures on experimental methods, biostatistics and bioinformatics for studies of mRNA translation with a focus on ribosome- and polysome-profiling methods. Introduction to nf-core.
- Day 1 afternoon: Installation and familiarization with R-studio. Hands on analysis of ribosome- or polysome-profiling data sets using R-studio and anota2seq.
- Day 2 morning: Lectures of methods, biostatistics and bioinformatics for identification, evaluation, integration and modeling of cis-regulatory RNA elements associating with alterations in mRNA translation
- Day 2 afternoon: Hands on training on identification, evaluation, integration and modeling of cis-regulatory RNA elements using R-studio and postNet.
- Day 3: Hands on training focused on analysis of participant’s selected data set.

<u>**Venue: Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden**</u>

 
**The training school is organized under funding from TRANSLACORE COST Action and financial support is provided for 10 participants. Participants need to be registered on the eCOST platform and be part of COST action TRANSLACORE (CA21154). After being accepted to the training school, participants will receive an official invitation from e-COST.**

 COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation. (www.cost.eu) | The TRANSLACORE Cost Action is bridging disciplines and expertise across Europe in order to advance an emerging field in cancer biology: translational control in cancer. It is providing a unique opportunity to understand this biological process leading to reconsider our view of gene expression control in this disease and deliver novel therapeutic opportunities.
