The classical model of concerted evolution states that hundreds to thousands of ribosomal
DNA (rDNA) units undergo homogenization, making the multiple copies of the individual …

Functional genomics has provided evidence that the human genome transcribes a large
number of non-coding genes in addition to protein-coding genes, including microRNAs and …

Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) loci encoding 5S and 45S (18S-5.8 S-28S) rRNAs are important
components of eukaryotic chromosomes. Here, we set up the animal rDNA database …

Ribosome biogenesis is a complex and highly energy-demanding process that requires the
concerted action of all three nuclear RNA polymerases (Pol I–III) in eukaryotes. The three …

Micropeptides are small polypeptides coded by small open-reading frames. Progress in
computational biology and the analyses of large-scale transcriptomes and proteomes have …

Although both are salient features of genomes, at first glance ribosomal DNAs and
transposable elements are genetic elements with not much in common: whereas ribosomal …

Nuclear ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes represent the oldest repetitive fraction universal to all
eukaryotic genomes. Their deeply anchored universality and omnipresence during …

The 5S rRNA genes are among the most conserved nucleotide sequences across all
species. Similar to the 5S preservation we observe the occurrence of 5S-related …
