Native RNA nanopore sequencing reveals antibiotic-induced loss of rRNA modifications in the A- and P-sites
Nature Communications - It remains unclear whether rRNA modifications can be naturally altered in response to antibiotics in bacteria. Here, the authors analyzed direct RNA nanopore sequencing data...
Study suggests RNA present on surfaces of leaves may shape microbial communities: Finding suggests that the RNA present on the leaf surface may play a role in shaping the microbial communities that inhabit them, potentially influencing plant health and interactions within their environment

New study suggests RNA present on surfaces of leaves may shape microbial communities
Biologists at Indiana University Bloomington have shown that the surfaces of plant leaves are coated with a diverse array of RNA molecules. The finding suggests that the RNA present on the leaf surface may play a role in shaping the microbial communities…
Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing production of certain messenger RNAs and appear to help cells respond to oxidative stress. The segments in question are introns, short sequences of a subset of transfer RNAs.
