Transcription-translation coupling: direct interactions of RNA polymerase with ribosomes and ribosomal subunits. [PDF]
In prokaryotes, RNA polymerase and ribosomes can bind concurrently to the same RNA transcript, leading to the functional coupling of transcription and translation.

Massively parallel sequencing of human urinary exosome/microvesicle RNA reveals a predominance of non-coding RNA. [PDF]
Intact RNA from exosomes/microvesicles (collectively referred to as microvesicles) has sparked much interest as potential biomarkers for the non-invasive analysis of disease.

Structural basis of ribosomal RNA transcription regulation
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) expression is regulated at the initiation stage of RNA synthesis. Here, the authors report cryo-EM structures of E. coli RNA polymerase and rRNA promoter complex with DksA/ppGpp on the way to open complex formation, identifying key ...

Cross-site comparison of ribosomal depletion kits for Illumina RNAseq library construction [PDF]
Background Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) comprises at least 90% of total RNA extracted from mammalian tissue or cell line samples. Informative transcriptional profiling using massively parallel sequencing technologies requires either enrichment of mature poly ...

Folding molecular origami from ribosomal RNA [PDF]
Approximately 80 percent of the total RNA in cells is ribosomal RNA (rRNA), making it an abundant and inexpensive natural source of long, single-stranded nucleic acid, which could be used as raw material for the fabrication of molecular origami.

Probing complex RNA structures by mechanical force [PDF]
RNA secondary structures of increasing complexity are probed combining single molecule stretching experiments and stochastic unfolding/refolding simulations. We find that force-induced unfolding pathways cannot usually be interpretated by solely invoking successive openings of native helices.

Pre-Ribosomal RNA Processing in Human Cells: From Mechanisms to Congenital Diseases
Ribosomal RNAs, the most abundant cellular RNA species, have evolved as the structural scaffold and the catalytic center of protein synthesis in every living organism.

RNA polymerase I mutant affects ribosomal RNA processing and ribosomal DNA stability [PDF]
Transcription is a major contributor to genomic instability. The ribosomal RNA (rDNA) gene locus consists of a head-to-tail repeat of the most actively transcribed genes in the genome.

Dual RNA-seq in filarial nematodes and Wolbachia endosymbionts using RNase H based ribosomal RNA depletion [PDF]
Lymphatic filariasis is caused by parasitic nematodes and is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Many filarial worms contain the bacterium Wolbachia as an obligate endosymbiont.

Evidence for further non-coding RNA genes in the fungal rDNA region [PDF]
Non-coding RNA (ncRNA) genes play important, but incompletely understood, roles in various cellular processes, notably translation and gene regulation.
