The enzyme that makes RNA from a DNA template is altered to slow the production of ribosomal RNA (rRNA), the most abundant type of RNA within cells, when resources are scarce and the bacteria ...

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a type of molecule and a key building block of the ribosome, the cell’s protein-making machinery. rRNA accounts for much of the RNA in a cell, and it’s crucial for life. “It’s ...

The ribosome is a highly complex and abundant protein-RNA machinery responsible for translating mRNA into protein. It is largely composed of specialized RNA known as ribosomal RNA (rRNA) as well as ...

Two key sequencing techniques are no longer at odds, thanks to an international effort led by scientists at University of California (UC) San Diego. The researchers have developed a reference database ...

Now, a new study from Dr. Rigoutsos' lab shows that the rRNA sequences of several organisms contain special patterns that are unique to each organism and shared primarily with genes of the nervous ...

Scientists from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center report that ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, which were thought to be similar among people, instead differed significantly based upon a person’s ...

New research has uncovered shared patterns between ribosomal RNAs and genes linked to brain disorders, including autism, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and schizophrenia. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...
