Proteins are continually being synthesized, modified, and degraded, and vary among species, tissue, and even cells — how do you capture and describe this ever-changing proteome?
The more researchers examine RNA, the more surprises they continue to uncover. What have we learned about RNA structure and function so far?
What's the difference between mRNA and pre-mRNA? It's all about splicing of introns. See how one RNA sequence can exist in nearly 40,000 different forms.
