Lost in translation: Mistranslated tRNA variants show sex-specific effects in Drosophila
A Drosophila model of protein mistranslation reveals the effects of serine to valine (V→S) and serine to threonine (T→S) substitutions on development, survival, and longevity where not all effects are detrimental to flies.
