The microRNA (miRNA) is a form of small, single-stranded RNA, 18–25 nucleotides long. It is transcribed from DNA, instead of being translated into protein, and regulates the functions of other genes in protein synthesis. Therefore, miRNAs are genes that modulate other protein-coding genes. What is difference between siRNA and miRNA?Read More →
Dissociation of the double stranded DNA helix into single coils is referred to as DNA melting. It can be accomplished by simply heating double stranded DNA. Therefore, in principle the more G and C in the sequence the higher temperature is needed to melt a given DNA fragment. … WhatRead More →
It is done by an enzyme called RNA Polymerase (RNA Pol). RNA Pol only reads one of the two DNA strands as it makes the RNA molecule. The double-stranded DNA molecule is split apart and RNA Pol binds to one strand, which it will read and copy. This strand isRead More →
