The ribosome is a large complex containing both protein and RNA which must be
assembled in a precise manner to allow proper functioning in the critical role of protein …

RNA is now appreciated to serve numerous cellular roles, and understanding RNA structure
is important for understanding a mechanism of action. This contribution discusses the …

Many functional RNAs have an evolutionarily conserved secondary structure. Conservation
of RNA base pairing induces pairwise covariations in sequence alignments. We developed …

The publication of a complete genome sequence is usually accompanied by annotations of
its genes. In contrast to protein coding genes, genes for ribosomal RNA (rRNA) are often …

Rfam is a collection of multiple sequence alignments and covariance models representing
non-coding RNA families. Rfam is available on the web in the UK at http://www. sanger. ac …

Background The new field of metagenomics studies microorganism communities by culture-
independent sequencing. With the advances in next-generation sequencing techniques …

Subsurface lithoautotrophic microbial ecosystems (SLiMEs) under oligotrophic conditions
are typically supported by H2. Methanogens and sulfate reducers, and the respective energy …

Transcription and translation use raw materials and energy generated metabolically to
create the macromolecular machinery responsible for all cellular functions, including …

This paper presents TurboFold II, an extension of the TurboFold algorithm for predicting
secondary structures for multiple RNA homologs. TurboFold II augments the structure …

As an accompanying manuscript to the release of the honey bee genome, we report the
entire sequence of the nuclear (18S, 5.8 S, 28S and 5S) and mitochondrial (12S and 16S) …
