Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a type of non-coding RNA that is a crucial component of ribosomes, the cellular machinery responsible for protein synthesis.Non-coding RNA refers to RNA molecules that are not ...

This article describes the production of 18S, 5.8S, 28s, and 5S rRNAs in eukaryotes, and post-translational modifications of tRNA and mRNA.

16S rRNA sequencing for the purpose of phylogenetic studies was first employed in the 1970s. Subsequent studies helped solidify the “three domains” view of the tree of life, ...

A new study has identified early-pregnancy gut microbiota signatures associated with the development of gestational diabetes ...

Subtractive hybridization reduced bacterial rRNA transcript abundance by 40–58%, increasing recovery of non-rRNA sequences up to fourfold (from 12% to 20% of total sequences to 40–49%).

While rRNA-FISH has been used for years for species identification, the use of the method here is novel, leads to unexpected findings and facilitates new applications. The researchers looked at three ...

In summary, this study found the link between rRNA modifications and T-Spm-mediated development in A. thaliana, providing a new insight for the function of T-Spm.
