Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) is present in hundreds of copies in the genome, but has not previously been part of genetic analyses. A new study of 500,000 individuals indicates that people who have more ...

Ribosomal RNAs form core structural and functional components of the ribosome, but despite their central role in protein synthesis and their abundance in cells, little is known about the ribosomal DNA ...

This showed that the ribosomal DNA copy number in a person was strongly associated with markers of systemic inflammation that are well known, like the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), ...

Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) is present in hundreds of copies in the genome, but has not previously been part of genetic analyses. A new study of 500,000 individuals indicates that people who have more ...

When Blackburn carried out sequencing experiments for the ribosomal DNA minichromosome, she was surprised to find that the telomeres of this structure contained 20-70 tandem copies of a simple ...

Human chromosomes stained blue and ribosomal DNA in green TAMARA POTAPOVA (WITH PERMISSION) Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) is highly repetitive, making it tough for scientists to analyze. But a new study, ...

Regulating the ribosomal RNA production line Date: January 23, 2021 Source: Penn State Summary: The enzyme that makes RNA from a DNA template is altered to slow the production of ribosomal RNA ...

DNA methylation status in a variety of tissues can accurately reveal the age of an animal, but previously discovered epigenetic clocks often aren’t evolutionarily conserved. In a study published today ...

Telomerase stimulates ribosomal DNA transcription under hyperproliferative conditions. Nat. Commun. 5:4599 doi: 10.1038/ncomms5599 (2014). References.

The rationale for using ribosomal DNA clones to provide such diagnostic probes to distinguish among other morphologically identical insect species is also discussed. /// Muchos insectos pertenecen a ...

Researchers at Harvard have identified a new ribosomal DNA (rDNA) clock, or a biological clock, that reveals accurate insight into how the body ages, and how humans can intervene to slow it down.
