In this article we will discuss about the processing of rRNA in prokaryotes (e.g. E. coli) and eukaryotes (e.g. mammals). In prokaryotes (e.g. E. coli) there are seven operons for rRNA. These are dispersed throughout the genome. Each operon consists of one copy of each of the 5S, 16S and 23S rRNA sequences. Coding sequences […]
