Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) is present in hundreds of copies in the genome, but has not previously been part of genetic analyses. A new study of 500,000 individuals indicates that people who have more ...

In a study published today (February 14) in Genome Research, researchers describe a new clock, composed of methylation sites in ribosomal DNA. This timekeeper is found in species as diverse as mice, ...

The Artstor website will be retired on Aug 1st. The Florida Entomologist Vol. 71, No. 3, Sep., 1988 Ribosomal DNA Probes for Identification ... Ribosomal DNA Probes for Identification of Member ...

RNA molecules differ from DNA molecules in several important ways ... these molecules make up about half of the ribosomal mass. The remaining mass consists of a number of proteins — nearly ...

The rRNA structures also provide binding sites for ribosomal proteins, which help stabilize the overall structure of the ribosome. One of the most remarkable features of rRNA is its catalytic activity ...

If DNA is a book, then how is it read ... In eukaryotes, RNA pol I transcribes the genes that encode most of the ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), and RNA pol III transcribes the genes for one small ...

The following is a summary of “Diagnostic-avoiding Chlamydia trachomatis variants detected in cervical and endometrial ...

RNA—in the form of messenger RNA (mRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and transfer RNA (tRNA)—transforms the genome coded by DNA into proteins that form the backbone of all cellular functions.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes, where proteins are synthesized. Transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) are involved in the translation of mRNA ...
