Term
|
Definition
| Flow of information from DNA (gene) to RNA (transcriptone) to protein (proteome). DNA to hnRNA to mRNA to protein: Gene has to be able to produce RNA. Genes dont produce a functional RNA. |

|
Term
|
Definition
| Heterogeneous nuclear RNA. Large unprocessed molecule that gets processed to make RNA. Splices out entrons, adds poly tail and 5' cap. 5'cap allows molecules to leave nucleus. |
|
|
Term
| rRNA (Other Types of RNA) |
|
Definition
| Ribosomal RNA produces ribosomes, not proteins. |
|
|
Term
| tRNA (Other Types of RNA) |
|
Definition
| Translation, no proteins. |
|
|
Term
| snRNA (Other Types of RNA) |
|
Definition
| Small nuclear RNA (snoRNA) final product, processes other RNA molecules (no proteins). Removes entrons in a spliceosome. |
|
|
Term
| miRNA (Other Types of RNA) |
|
Definition
| MicroRNA regulates expression of other genes-monitors translation. |
|
|
Term
| xistRNA (Other Types of RNA) |
|
Definition
| Large RNA molecules regulate transcription. Plays role in x chromosome activation. |
|
|
Term
| Reverse Transcriptase (RNA to DNA) |
|
Definition
| Used by retroviruses. Used in telomerase. |
