Abstract: Expansion segments (ESs) are multinucleotide insertions present across phyla at specific conserved positions in eukaryotic rRNAs. ESs are generally absent in bacterial rRNAs with some exceptions, while the archaeal rRNAs have microexpansions at regions that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkac844
Abstract: Abstract The ribosomal core is universally conserved across the tree of life. However, eukaryotic ribosomes contain diverse rRNA expansion segments (ESs) on their surfaces. Sites of ES insertions are predicted from sites of insertion of… read more here.
