In this article we will discuss about the biological significance of DNA and RNA. DNA usually includes two nucleotide polymers joined together by the matching or complementary shapes of their bases. The relationship between bases in a DNA double helix is a lock and key relationship. The four bases of DNA can interlock to form two kinds of base pairs [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Introduction to Micro RNAs 2. Formation of Micro RNAs 3. Processing 4. Differences Between Small Interfering RNA (siRNA) and Micro RNA (miRNA)5. Roles. Introduction to Micro RNAs (miRNA): Micro RNAs were first described for the worm C. elegans in 1993 by Lee and colleagues in the Victor Ambros lab. However, the term [...]
In this article we will discuss about RNA (Ribonucleic Acid). After reading this article you will learn about: 1. Structure of RNA 2. Types of RNA. Structure of RNA: The primary structure of RNA is the same as that of DNA. It is also a polynucleotide chain with 5'-3' sugar phosphate links. But the sugar is ribose and generally it [...]
