The 5′ end of the 18S rRNA can be positioned from within the mature rRNA [PDF]
In yeast, the 5' end of the mature 18S rRNA is generated by endonucleolytic cleavage at site A1, the position of which is specified by two distinct signals. An evolutionarily conserved sequence immediately upstream of the cleavage site has previously been shown to constitute one of these signals.

Phylogeny of protostome worms derived from 18S rRNA sequences. [PDF]
The phylogenetic relationships of protostome worms were studied by comparing new complete 18S rRNA sequences of Vestimentifera, Pogonophora, Sipuncula, Echiura, Nemertea, and Annelida with existing 18S rRNA sequences of Mollusca, Arthropoda, Chordata, and Platyhelminthes.

Genetic characterization of flea-derived Bartonella species from native animals in Australia suggests host-parasite co-evolution [PDF]
Fleas are important arthropod vectors for a variety of diseases in veterinary and human medicine, and bacteria belonging to the genus Bartonella are among the organisms most commonly transmitted by these ectoparasites.

Phylogeny as a proxy for ecology in seagrass amphipods: which traits are most conserved? [PDF]
Increasingly, studies of community assembly and ecosystem function combine trait data and phylogenetic relationships to gain novel insight into the ecological and evolutionary constraints on community dynamics.

Specialized box C/D snoRNPs act as antisense guides to target RNA base acetylation.
Box C/D snoRNAs are known to guide site-specific ribose methylation of ribosomal RNA. Here, we demonstrate a novel and unexpected role for box C/D snoRNAs in guiding 18S rRNA acetylation in yeast.

Validation of suitable internal control genes for expression studies in aging. [PDF]
Quantitative data from experiments of gene expression are often normalized through levels of housekeeping genes transcription by assuming that expression of these genes is highly uniform. This practice is being questioned as it becomes increasingly clear
