RNA editing
RNA editing[¦är¦en¦ā ′ed·əd·iŋ] (cell and molecular biology) Alteration in the nucleotide sequence of messenger RNA after it has been transcribed from DNA, changing the nature of its protein product from what was encoded; may entail insertion, deletion, or enzyme-catalyzed chemical alteration of nucleotides. RNA editing
RNA editing process by which NUCLEOTIDES not encoded by a GENE are incorporated, at specific sites, into an RNA molecule after TRANSCRIPTION. Editing may involve substituting individual nucleotides (substitution editing) or inserting or deleting nucleotides (insertion/deletion editing). |
