Ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA)

rRNA is the main constituent of ribosomes (cellular organelles which allow for the translation of genetic information coded on a RNA messenger, from which it synthesises proteins within the cell). Its sequence is used to retrace the evolution of living organisms and to study their relationships.
