Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...

Shah and colleagues take advantage of the presence of maternal and somatic ribosomes in zebrafish and confirm their differential expression during development. The authors convincingly show that ...

Universal rRNA depletion can put the power of RNA-seq at the disposal of researchers studying any organism, from dangerous pathogens to vital plant crops. The RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) revolution ...

These 70S ribosomes consist of two subunits: a 30S small subunit and a 50S large subunit. The 30S subunit contains a 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecule, while the 50S subunit harbors 23S and 5S ...
