There is mounting evidence that the ribosome is not a static translation machinery, but a cell-specific,
adaptive system. Ribosomal variations have mostly been studied at the protein …

5S rRNA is a ribosomal core component, transcribed from many gene copies organized in
genomic repeats. Some eukaryotic species have two 5S rRNA types defined by their …

rRNAs are non-coding RNAs present in all prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In eukaryotes there
are four rRNAs: 18S, 5.8S, 28S, originating from a common precursor (45S), and 5S. We …

Maternal mRNA present in mature oocytes plays an important role in the proper development
of the early embryo. As the composition of the maternal transcriptome in general has been …

Background Recently, much progress has been made in the field of gene-expression in early
embryogenesis. However, the dynamic behaviour of transcriptomes in individual embryos …

Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that play an important role in the
complex maturation process of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs). SnoRNAs are categorized in classes, …

Splicing removes intronic RNA sequences are removed from pre-mRNA molecules and
enables, by alternative splicing, the generation of multiple unique RNA molecules from a single …

At gastrulation in the zebrafish embryogenesis, the embryonic genome is switched on to
produce transcripts that are used for the maintenance and development of the embryo. In a …

Maternal mRNA that is present in the mature oocyte plays an important role in the proper
development of the early embryo. To elucidate the role of the maternal transcriptome we …
