Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a type of molecule and a key building block of the ribosome, the cell's protein-making machinery. rRNA accounts for much of the RNA in a cell, and it's crucial for life. It's ...

Two key sequencing techniques are no longer at odds, thanks to an international effort led by scientists at University of California (UC) San Diego. The researchers have developed a reference database ...

New research has uncovered shared patterns between ribosomal RNAs and genes linked to brain disorders, including autism, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and schizophrenia. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

Clinical research frequently uses tissue that has been formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE). Due to the destructive nature of the formalin fixation process, where crosslinking, chemical ...

Since the beginning of the microbiome era decades ago, 16S rRNA gene-based amplicon sequencing has been widely adopted for microbial composition profiling. Many researchers might assume the 16S ...
