RNAtasolla
RNAtasolla, also known as RNA editing, refers to a post-transcriptional modification process in which the nucleotide sequence of RNA is altered before translation into protein. This mechanism plays a critical role in gene expression regulation, allowing organisms to generate diverse protein isoforms from a limited genetic code. RNA editing can occur in various organisms, including humans, plants, and certain protists, and involves the modification of individual nucleotides within messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and other non-coding RNAs.
The most common forms of RNA editing include the insertion, deletion, or substitution of nucleotides. In some
RNA editing is mediated by specialized enzymes, such as adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs) for A-to-I
While RNA editing was initially discovered in trypanosomes and later in mammals, its prevalence and significance
