Inside our cells, ribosomes—the tireless "protein factories" of life—have just shown off a new skill they haven't used in ...

Research reveals that nucleolar enlargement in yeast disrupts genomic integrity, linking size to lifespan and offering ...

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 ...

Ribosomal RNAs form core structural and functional components of the ribosome, but despite their central role in protein synthesis and their abundance in cells, little is known about the ribosomal DNA ...

DNA methylation status in a variety of tissues can accurately reveal the age of an animal, but previously discovered epigenetic clocks often aren’t evolutionarily conserved. In a study published today ...

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 ...

This showed that the ribosomal DNA copy number in a person was strongly associated with markers of systemic inflammation that are well known, like the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), ...

Human chromosomes stained blue and ribosomal DNA in green TAMARA POTAPOVA (WITH PERMISSION) Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) is highly repetitive, making it tough for scientists to analyze. But a new study, ...

Victoria Finnerty, Frank H. Collins, Ribosomal DNA Probes for Identification of Member Species of the Anopheles gambiae Complex, The Florida Entomologist, Vol. 71, No. 3 (Sep., 1988), pp. 288-294 ...

Researchers at Harvard have identified a new ribosomal DNA (rDNA) clock, or a biological clock, that reveals accurate insight into how the body ages, and how humans can intervene to slow it down.

Regulating the ribosomal RNA production line Date: January 23, 2021 Source: Penn State Summary: The enzyme that makes RNA from a DNA template is altered to slow the production of ribosomal RNA ...
