Researchers created DNA tools that detect deep-sea marine animals like squids and octopuses by analyzing ocean water.

By writing genetic information directly into the 16S rRNA—a molecule universally found in bacteria—the researchers could ...

The assay measures M. tuberculosis 16S rRNA, a marker of viable bacteria, through reverse transcriptase PCR. "Unlike ...

The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit contains the 16S rRNA, while in eukaryotes, it contains the 18S rRNA. These rRNAs are involved in mRNA binding and ...

Liver injury is an independent risk factor for multiple organ dysfunction and high mortality in patients with sepsis. However, the pathological mechanisms and therapeutic strategies for ...

By writing genetic information directly into the 16S rRNA -- a molecule universally found in bacteria -- the researchers could track which microbes acquired foreign DNA without disrupting their ...
