All genomes are replicated in a temporal order, though the determinants of such timing are poorly characterized. Here, the authors show that the unusual chromosome size-dependent DNA replication timin...

Remember learning that ribosomes are made of 1 large subunit RNA + 1 small subunit RNA?
Well, some cells defy this rule, and the most extreme case is Toxoplasma which makes its mitoribosome from >50 RNA pieces!
