Abstract excerpt
The term "RNA editing" is used to identify any mechanism responsible for producing mRNA molecules with sequence information not specifically encoded in the DNA. RNA editing is therefore an important event in gene modification, which takes place at a post-transcriptional level. The molecular mechanism of RNA editing involves site-selective deamination of adenosine to inosine in pre-mRNA, which leads to altering...
