Zoschke’s team performed comparative transcriptomic and ribosome profiling of both mutant and wild-type plants. They ruled out using direct capture methods to prepare samples for RNA-seq ...

These variations have been exploited for phylogenetic analyses and the identification of microorganisms in environmental samples through techniques like 16S rRNA sequencing. Given the essential role ...

Bacteria modify their ribosomes when exposed to widely used antibiotics, according to research published today in Nature Communications. The subtle changes might be enough to alter the binding site of ...

This came as a complete surprise, says Barna: Everyone had expected the cause to be a mutation in a gene that orchestrated development, not one involved in ribosome structure. Ribosomes ...

An international research collaboration has shed new light on the molecular basis of gene expression, the fundamental ...

Scientists have discovered that tRNAs can determine how long mRNAs exist in a cell, causing some messages to be stabilized ...

Messenger RNA carries genetic information from DNA in the highly protected nucleus out to the rest of the cell, where structures called ribosomes can build proteins according to the ... By delivering ...

Scientists from the Netherlands Cancer Institute have now shown that cancer cells can use these ribosomes to boost their ...
