The Ribosomal Paradigm: Structural Complexity, Regulatory Heterogeneity, and Advanced RNA-Seq Strategies
Ribosomal RNA has long been described as the stable scaffold of the translation apparatus. That description is not wrong, but it is no longer enough. In modern molecular biology, rRNA sits at the center of two conversations. The first is mechanistic. rRNA is the structural and catalytic heart of the ribosome. The second is methodological. […]
