RNA editing affects gene expression -- with disease implications
March 10, 2021 -- Researchers found that RNA editing events can have large downstream effects that influence gene expression and subsequent phenotypic manifestations of that expression. RNA editing may be a previously underappreciated mechanism driving human diseases, according to an analysis published in RNA editing is a cellular process in which the sequence in mature RNA molecules is enzymatically altered from the genomic sequence. Altered levels of RNA editing have been associated with cancers and various other neurological conditions. The most common RNA editing event in animals is aden...
