18S-NemaBase: Curated 18S rRNA Database of Nematode Sequences [PDF]
Journal of Nematology, 2023 Nematodes are the most abundant and diverse animals on the planet but lack representation in biodiversity research. This presents a problem for studying nematode diversity, particularly when molecular tools (i.e., barcoding and metabarcoding) rely on ...

Poly(G)7 box: a functional element of mammalian 18S rRNA involved in translation [PDF]
RNA BiologyIn eukaryotes, the ribosomal small subunit (40S) is composed of 18S rRNA and 33 ribosomal proteins. 18S rRNA has a special secondary structure and is an indispensable part of the translation process.

Overexpression of 18S rRNA methyltransferase CrBUD23 enhances biomass and lutein content in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023 Post-transcriptional modification of nucleic acids including transfer RNA (tRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) is vital for fine-tunning of mRNA translation. Methylation is one of the most widespread post-transcriptional modifications in

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2023 Under many kinds of stress, eukaryotic cells rapidly decrease the overall translation level of the majority of mRNAs. However, some molecular mechanisms of protein synthesis inhibition like phosphorylation of eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2), which ...

Taxonomic resolutions based on 18S rRNA genes: a case study of subclass copepoda. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Biodiversity studies are commonly conducted using 18S rRNA genes. In this study, we compared the inter-species divergence of variable regions (V1-9) within the copepod 18S rRNA gene, and tested their taxonomic resolutions at different taxonomic levels ...
