The work highlights that functional redundancy in terms of nucleation activity exists, but the physiological impact is determined by the differential expression levels of the isoforms.\n \nIt should be noted that the abstract does not contain any information regarding SNORA8. Thus, based on the provided abstract, no conclusions about the function of SNORA8 can be drawn.\n"}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Stanislav Vinopal, Markéta Cernohorská, Vadym Sulimenko, et al.
