Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Sibah Alkatib"
- Sibah Alkatib's research primarily focuses on the mechanisms of tRNA and ribosomal protein evolution in plastids, particularly in relation to reduced genome sizes and the implications for genetic coding.
- Key findings include the exploration of wobbling and superwobbling mechanisms that allow a limited number of tRNAs to decode a broader range of codons, especially in the context of reduced tRNA sets in bacterial and plastid genomes.
- Alkatib also investigates the developmental roles of nonessential plastid-encoded ribosomal proteins, contributing to the understanding of plastid function and evolutionary adaptations in higher plants.
