This article describes the production of 18S, 5.8S, 28s, and 5S rRNAs in eukaryotes, and post-translational modifications of tRNA and mRNA.

The enzyme that makes RNA from a DNA template is altered to slow the production of ribosomal RNA (rRNA), the most abundant type of RNA within cells, when resources are scarce and the bacteria ...

The multi-gene family that encodes ribosomal RNA (the rDNA) has been the subject of numerous review articles examining its structure and function, as well as its use as a molecular systematic marker.

RNA is best known as a messenger that carries genetic information, but this versatile molecule is involved in many other essential cellular functions, as well. Here’s a quick rundown of the ...
