Abstract

RNA and their Modulations

Author(s): Edward Wil

The messenger molecule known as RNA is responsible for transmitting information from the genome and enabling the creation of biomolecules necessary for life in a responsive and controlled manner. In response to various internal or external environmental signals, in various tissues and organs, at particular stages throughout development or later in life, the majority of genes can create numerous mRNA products. The coordinated actions of a complex and large set of regulatory machinery, which together orchestrate the genomic output at each locus and make sure that each gene is expressed at the proper level, at the proper time, and in the proper location, are what allow for this fine-tuning of gene expression.
