| This finding is the first suggestion that multiple spliceosomal introns occur in ribosomal genes. |
| Almost all eukaryotes have multiple copies of their nuclear ribosomal RNA cistrons, arranged in a long tandem array. |
| Three main classes of RNAs involved in protein synthesis include messenger RNA, transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA. |
| Since these patterns are almost identical, it would appear that HMP associates with ribosomes or ribosomal proteins. |
| Both subunits are composed of long RNA strands complexed with ribosomal proteins. |
| We also prepared primer pairs for the 18S ribosomal RNA gene to use as an internal control. |
