Adaptive evolution at mRNA editing sites in soft-bodied cephalopods
2020-08-17
Abstract excerpt
The bulk of variability in mRNA sequence arises due to mutation – change in DNA sequence which is heritable if it occurs in the germline. However, variation in mRNA can also be achieved by post-translational modification including mRNA editing, changes in mRNA nucleotide sequence that mimic the effect of mutations. Such modifications are not inherited directly; however, as the processes affecting them are encoded...
