In a search for a region of DNA that will clarify the interordinal relationships we sequenced approximately 1080 nucleotides of the 5' end of the 18S ribosomal RNA gene from representatives ... We ...

Researchers have developed a new toolkit for detecting trypanosome parasites in livestock, aiding efforts to monitor and ...

including ribosomal RNA (rRNA) content (~90% of total RNA content). By removing rRNA from RNA-seq libraries, sequencing costs are reduced and low-abundance transcripts of interest are better covered.

The protocol consisted of digestion and two-dimensional electrophoresis of radioactive small-subunit (16S or 18S) ribosomal RNA. When exposed to X-ray film ... Woese and Fox determined the sequences ...

Figure 1: RNA composition of fractions ... a critical role in folding the pre-18S rRNA. Consistent with this is the proposal that specific U3 snoRNA sequences are required for formation of the ...

In eukaryotes, there are four rRNAs associated with ribosomes; these are the 18S, 5.8S, 28s, and 5S rRNAs. Production of the first three occurs within the nucleolus, whereas 5S rRNA production ...

The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit contains the 16S rRNA, while in eukaryotes, it contains the 18S rRNA. These rRNAs are ... also provide binding ...
