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 ...

Lexogen, a leader in RNA sequencing technologies, is thrilled to announce the launch of the RiboCop rRNA Depletion Kit for Fish, a dedicated solution to facilitate transcriptome analysis of fish ...

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 ...

"A lot of biochemical and genetic data had been generated," says Venki Ramakrishnan, group leader, structural studies division, Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, UK. "But it ...

Olfactory dysfunction in MS may be linked to nasal microbial changes, not just central inflammation. MS patients showed lower olfactory test scores and distinct nasal microbiome differences compared ...

A new study has found a connection between special patterns in RNA sequences within the ribosome — the cell’s protein production machinery — and genes known to contribute towards psychiatric disorders ...
