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), ...

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 ...

But how do these DNA tests work, and how can they tell if two people are related to each other?. A genetic test typically involves submitting a saliva sample to a laboratory. Scientists then ...

Here we show that the cis-acting genetic element aps (amplification-promoting sequence), isolated from the nontranscribed spacer region of tobacco ribosomal DNA (rDNA), increases the level of ...
