RNA (ribonucleic acid) is a nucleic acid polymer where the carbohydrate is ribose. RNA is generally single-stranded, as DNA is transcribed by RNA polymerases into mRNA (messenger RNA), which is ...

This transcript is altered during splicing when specific portions are eliminated by the spliceosome, a cellular editing ...

One type of RNP, hnRNPs (heteronuclear proteins), are important in splicing of mRNA (messenger RNA), polyadenylation, stabilization, localization and translation.
