Therefore, the transcriptome functions as a kind of catalog of all of the genes that are being expressed in a cell at a particular point in time. Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein ...

Ribosomes “want” to convert genes into working molecules. The big question, by analogy to the “selfish gene” theory, then became: Might ribosomes “want” to make copies of themselves?

PLOS ONE e51866, 2012). Now, the same group of researchers have found that the cause of somatic cell conversion into pluripotent stem cells is the ribosome, a protein synthesizing cellular organelle.
