Homology-based annotation of non-coding RNAs in the genomes of Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma japonicum.

6 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Schistosomes are trematode parasites of the phylum Platyhelminthes. They are considered the most important of the human helminth parasites in terms of morbidity and mortality. Draft genome sequences are now available for Schistosoma ... Read more...

Increased expression of Mg(2+) transport proteins enhances the survival of Salmonella enterica at high temperature.

29 Sep 2009 Mg(2+) homeostasis is important for Salmonella pathogenesis. In Salmonella enterica, the transcription of the mgtA gene, which encodes a Mg(2+) transporter, is regulated by a Mg(2+)-sensing riboswitch [Cromie MJ, Shi Y, Latifi T, Groisman EA (2006) ... Read more...

Comprehensive molecular etiology analysis of nonsyndromic hearing impairment from typical areas in China.

8 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Every year, 30,000 babies are born with congenital hearing impairment in China. The molecular etiology of hearing impairment in the Chinese population has not been investigated thoroughly. To provide appropriate genetic testing and ... Read more...

Technical information about 'RNA, Ribosomal'

Definition: The most abundant form of RNA. Together with proteins, it forms the ribosomes, playing a structural role and also a role in ribosomal binding of mRNA and tRNAs. Individual chains are conventionally designated by their sedimentation coefficients. In eukaryotes, four large chains exist, synthesized in the nucleolus and constituting about 50% of the ribosome.
