Linked from

The 22 pages that link to Ribosomal RNA, each with the reason it gives.

• RibosomeBroader topic: Ribosomal RNA builds the subunits and performs key reactions in translation.

• RNABroader topic: Ribosomal RNA helps position substrates and catalyze peptide-bond formation.

• Messenger RNACompared with: Ribosomal RNA builds the machinery that reads messenger RNA.

• ArchaeaRelated: Comparisons of its sequences exposed deep evolutionary differences among cellular life.

• TranscriptionBroader topic: Transcription supplies the abundant RNA that builds ribosomes.

• Transfer RNACompared with: Unlike transfer RNA, ribosomal RNA builds and catalyzes the ribosome rather than carrying amino acids.

• 16S ribosomal RNANarrower topic: 16S is one specific ribosomal RNA, distinguished by its location in the small subunit.

• RNA sequencingBroader topic: Ribosomal RNA dominates total cellular RNA and is often depleted before sequencing.

• Carl WoeseNarrower topic: Its conserved and variable regions made it a powerful record of evolutionary divergence.

• Angiosperm Phylogeny GroupRelated: Ribosomal gene sequences helped resolve relationships among major angiosperm lineages.

• ReticulocyteRelated: Residual ribosomal RNA gives reticulocytes their characteristic staining and enables their identification.

• Three-domain systemRelated: Comparisons of ribosomal RNA sequences provided the key evidence for separating Archaea from Bacteria.

• Non-coding RNABroader topic: It shows how non-coding RNA can form the core of the protein-making machinery.

• Ada YonathBroader topic: Yonath’s structures exposed how ribosomal RNA organizes the molecule’s functional sites.

• MicrosporidiaRelated: Ribosomal RNA comparisons helped place microsporidia within the fungal lineage.

• NucleolusRelated: The nucleolus transcribes and processes much of the ribosomal RNA used in ribosome assembly.

• Robert W. HolleyCompared with: Holley studied an adaptor RNA, not the RNA that forms the ribosome’s core.

• Thomas A. SteitzRelated: Steitz’s structures helped reveal that RNA, rather than protein alone, forms the catalytic center.

• Nucleic acid structureBroader topic: Its elaborate folds demonstrate how RNA architecture supports molecular catalysis.

• ParakaryonRelated: Ribosomal RNA comparisons could help classify Parakaryon if suitable sequence data become available.

• Post-transcriptional modificationRelated: Its precursor is cleaved and chemically modified during ribosome production.

• Venki RamakrishnanRelated: Its architecture provides much of the small subunit’s framework for decoding messenger RNA.
