Replication of Genetic RNA | Nucleic Acids

In this article we will discuss about the replication of genetic RNA. Several viruses and bacteriophages contain single- or double-stranded RNA as their genetic material (Table 3.1). Replication of these RNA chromosomes occurs in the host cytoplasm following one of the two modes given below: (i) Direct use of RNA template for RNA synthesis (RNA RNA) by the enzyme -'RNA [...]

Heterogeneous Nuclear RNA (hnRNA) | Protein

In this article we will discuss about Heterogeneous Nuclear RNA (hnRNA). Unlike prokaryotic mRNA, eukaryotic mRNAs are monocistronic. The primary transcript in eukaryotes is much larger than the mature mRNA and is called Heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA). It contains unique sequences and has about 10 times as many sequences as the mature mRNA. hnRNA undergoes processing and finally the mRNA [...]
