Sentences with phrase «rna editing processes»

Liang said that specific RNA editing processes, adenosine - to - inosine (A-to-I), are plentiful in the human genome but have not been investigated in depth.

We want to see which environmental variables influence the RNA editing process — things like variation in temperature... maybe something more complex like experiences.»

Not exact matches

RNA editing is the process where genetic information is altered in the RNA molecule.

The new work, published today in Cell Reports, finds that the protein ADR - 1 binds to messenger ribonucleic acid, or mRNA, and then enhances RNA editing, a process that allows a gene to be present as multiple mRNAs that can then each affect gene expression differently.

In other words, in an animal reliant on RNA - editing for survival, any mutations that interfered with that process would probably not have survived into the next generation.

We'll have a post that goes into the mouse genome editing process in a bit more detail in the coming weeks, but, in this post, we will outline a simple method for selecting the guide RNA, validating its efficacy in vitro, and using it in mouse embryos to generate gene modified mouse lines.

The research focus of the laboratory is to better understand the functions of ADAR and the cellular processes regulated by A-to-I RNA editing and to identify possible human diseases caused by malfunction of these processes.

Nishikura studies the process of RNA editing and has made pioneering strides in the understanding of how our cells utilize RNA to control gene expression and protein synthesis and how the malfunction of this process can lead to disease.

(LA JOLLA, CA)-- August 4, 2016 — Researchers from the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) and Synthetic Genomics, Inc. (SGI) have published research describing a method for engineering Mycoplasma mycoides 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) using a one - step process that combines CRISPR / Cas9 gene editing system with yeast recombination machinery.

Intron a nucleic acid sequence that is NOT present in the final RNA molecule after the splicing process edits the precursor RNA molecule (pre-mRNA); see Exon.
