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 ...

Antibiotic-driven modifications to ribosomal RNA (rRNA) have been suspected of giving rise to antibiotic resistance. For example, antibiotics can alter methylation patterns in rRNA, changing rRNA ...

Hyperthermophilic archaea are true survival experts. They thrive in boiling hot springs and deep-sea vents—environments lethal to nearly all other forms of life. Researchers at the German Archaea ...

Showing great promise in preclinical studies, PMR-116 disrupts a pathway downstream of MYC, inhibiting an enzyme that stunts the synthesis of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) – a process that's crucial in protein ...

New Ultra II technology addresses lower input amounts and challenging sample types for Illumina® next generation sequencing systems IPSWICH, Mass., May 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- New England Biolabs ...

Human fingerprints are detailed, unique, difficult to alter, and durable over the life of an individual, making them suitable as long-term markers of human identity. Could the same concept be used to ...

James Chappell, associate professor of biosciences and bioengineering at Rice University. In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, ...

The discovery by researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona sets the foundation for creating new, non-invasive diagnostic tests that detect different types of cancer faster ...
