The ribosome has recently transitioned from being viewed as a passive, indiscriminate
machine to a more dynamic macromolecular complex with specialized roles in the cell …

Historically, the ribosome has been viewed as a complex ribozyme with constitutive rather
than intrinsic regulatory capacity in mRNA translation. However, emerging studies reveal …

Polymerase chain reaction conditions were established for the in vitro amplification of
eukaryotic small subunit ribosomal (16S-like) rRNA genes. Coding regions from algae …

Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences have been aligned and compared in a number of living
organisms, and this approach has provided a wealth of information about phylogenetic …

Ribosomes are universally conserved enzymes that carry out protein biosynthesis. Bacterial
and eukaryotic ribosomes, which share an evolutionarily conserved core, are thought to …

The transcription factor nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) is critical for the inducible expression of
multiple cellular and viral genes involved in inflammation and infection including interleukin …

Sequence heterogeneities in 16S rRNA genes from individual strains of Paenibacillus
polymyxa were detected by sequence-dependent separation of PCR products by …

Several characteristics of the 16S rRNA gene, such as its essential function, ubiquity, and
evolutionary properties, have allowed it to become the most commonly used molecular …

A nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay that uses Plasmodium genus-specific
primers for the initial PCR (nest 1) amplification and either genus-or species-specific primers …

Using an active approach to preventing biofilm formation, we implemented a microfluidic
bioreactor that enables long-term culture and monitoring of extremely small populations of …
