Antibiotic-driven modifications to ribosomal RNA (rRNA) have been suspected of giving rise to antibiotic resistance. For example, antibiotics can alter methylation patterns in rRNA, changing rRNA ...
In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...
16S sequencing is used to detect and examine bacteria according to the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene present in prokaryotic organisms. Amplifying and sequencing this gene can help researchers contrast ...
Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...
