Ribosomal RNA, the lens into life [PDF]
RNA, 2015 Our world is, to a first approximation, a microbial world—even our own lives are evolutionarily and molecularly linked to that which we cannot see. This “invisible” world contains nearly unfathomable molecular and genetic diversity. Throughout the 20th century, a metaphor of “war against disease” prevailed: Microbes were hunted under the guise of ...

RNA polymerase I mutant affects ribosomal RNA processing and ribosomal DNA stability
RNA BiologyTranscription 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.

Drug hypersensitivity caused by alteration of the MHC-presented self-peptide repertoire [PDF]
, 2012 Idiosyncratic adverse drug reactions are unpredictable, dose independent and potentially life threatening; this makes them a major factor contributing to the cost and uncertainty of drug development. Clinical data suggest that many such reactions involve

RNA G-quadruplex structures control ribosomal protein production
Scientific Reports, 2021 Four-stranded G-quadruplex (G4) structures form from guanine-rich tracts, but the extent of their formation in cellular RNA and details of their role in RNA biology remain poorly defined.

Ribosomal RNA regulates chromosome clustering during mitosis
Cell Discovery, 2022 Noncoding RNAs are known to associate with mitotic chromosomes, but the identities and functions of chromosome-associated RNAs in mitosis remain elusive. Here, we show that rRNA species associate with condensed chromosomes during mitosis.

Systematic identification of gene families for use as markers for phylogenetic and phylogeny- driven ecological studies of bacteria and archaea and their major subgroups [PDF]
, 2013 With the astonishing rate that the genomic and metagenomic sequence data sets are accumulating, there are many reasons to constrain the data analyses.
