Notably, evolutionary comparisons of pre-rRNA processing kinetics further supported the model that the nucleolar structure and function are interdependent.

Phylogenetic affiliation of the 12S rRNA gene sequences was determined using maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods, which produced uniform topologies. Further, the divergence time ...

The small subunit ribosomal RNA (eukaryotic 16S rRNA) gene from Giardia trophozoites, isolated from 8 different prairie voles and 8 different muskrats, was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction.

To quantify the relationship between pre-rRNA processing and nucleolar organization, researchers introduced a new geometric parameter, named Relative FC/DFC interface, which quantitatively links ...
