1 day ago · Genetic mosaicism is common. The study represents the first time anyone has used Strand-seq technology to study mutations in the DNA of healthy people. The researchers included biological samples from a range of age groups – from newborn to 92-years-old – and found mutations in blood stem cells, which are located in the bone marrow, in 84% ...
6 days ago · Definition Translation, as related to genomics, is the process through which information encoded in messenger RNA (mRNA) directs the addition of amino acids during protein synthesis. Translation takes place on ribosomes in the cell cytoplasm, where mRNA is read and translated into the string of amino acid chains that make up the synthesized ...
May 16, 2024 · Messenger RNA, molecule in cells that carries codes from the DNA in the nucleus to the sites of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm (the ribosomes). Each mRNA molecule encodes information for one protein. In the cytoplasm, mRNA molecules are translated for protein synthesis by the rRNA of ribosomes.

May 19, 2024 · Features of Eukaryotic Transcription. Eukaryotic Transcription occurs within the nucleus and mRNA moves out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm for translation. The initiation of RNA synthesis by RNA polymerase is directed by the presence of a promoter site on the 5’ side of the transcriptional start site. The RNA polymerase transcribes one ...
May 8, 2024 · Definition. Post-translational modifications are modifications that occur on a protein, catalysed by enzymes, after its translation by ribosomes is complete.
6 days ago · RNA interference ( RNAi) is a biological process in which RNA molecules are involved in sequence-specific suppression of gene expression by double-stranded RNA, through translational or transcriptional repression. Historically, RNAi was known by other names, including co-suppression, post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS), and quelling.
6 days ago · Definition. Transcription, as related to genomics, is the process of making an RNA copy of a gene’s DNA sequence. This copy, called messenger RNA (mRNA), carries the gene’s protein information encoded in DNA. In humans and other complex organisms, mRNA moves from the cell nucleus to the cell cytoplasm (watery interior), where it is used for ...
