Definitions for "RNA editing"
The alteration of RNA transcripts to produce RNAs with sequences different from those encoded in the genome.
A process that changes the nucleotide sequence of mRNA from that of the DNA template encoding it. Some major classes of RNA editing are as follows: 1, the conversion of cytosine to uracil in mRNA; 2, the addition of variable number of guanines at pre-determined sites; and 3, the addition and deletion of uracils, templated by guide-RNAs (RNA, GUIDE).
The insertion of uridines into mRNAs after transcription is completed; controlled by guide RNA (gRNA). May also sometimes involve insertion of cytidines and possible deletions of bases.
