Abstract excerpt
CeR-2a RNA is a putative Caenorhabditis elegans homolog of vertebrate U8 small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA), which plays an essential role in large subunit (LSU) pre-rRNA processing. It was previously reported that, in the mutant strain MT16939, which lacks the CeR-2a RNA gene (cer-2a), there were higher levels of accumulation of the LSU pre-rRNA c'1 than in wild-type N2. To confirm this, we generated two strains using...
