RNA-Seq employing a novel rRNA depletion strategy reveals a rich repertoire of snoRNAs in Euglena gracilis including box C/D and Ψ-guide RNAs targeting the modification of rRNA extremities.

abstract：:Telomeres, protective nucleoprotein structures located at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes and until recently regarded as transcriptionally silent, are now known to be transcribed into non-coding RNA molecules called TERRA. The function(s) of TERRA in telomere metabolism is now the subject of intense study given the...
