Exploration of Giardia small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) and their possible microRNA derivatives
Francisco Alejandro Lagunas-Rangel
Abstract:Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that are abundant in the nucleoli of eukaryotic cells and play a crucial role in various aspects of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) maturation, including modifications such as 2′-O-methylation or pseudouridylation. On the other hand, Giardia duodenalis is a microaerophilic, flagellated, binucleate protozoan responsible for causing giardiasis. Although numerous snoRNAs have been detected in Giardia, their investigation remains limited. Nevertheless, they have been f… Show more
