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, ...
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 following is a summary of “Diagnostic-avoiding Chlamydia trachomatis variants detected in cervical and endometrial ...
When Blackburn carried out sequencing experiments for the ribosomal DNA minichromosome, she was surprised to find that the telomeres of this structure contained 20-70 tandem copies of a simple ...

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 ...
