RNA
Research News and Information
Definition of 'RNA'A polynucleotide consisting essentially of chains with a repeating backbone of phosphate and ribose units to which nitrogenous bases are attached. RNA is unique among biological macromolecules in that it can encode genetic information, serve as an abundant structural component of cells, and also possesses catalytic activity. (Rieger et al., Glossary of Genetics: Classical and Molecular, 5th ed) Common names: RNA; Gene Products, RNA; RNA Gene Products; RNA, Non-Polyadenylated; RNA, Non Polyadenylated; Non-Polyadenylated RNA; Non Polyadenylated RNA; Ribonucleic Acid; Acid, Ribonucleic |

OBJECT: Cerebral ischemia remains the key cause of disability and death in the late phase after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and its pathogenesis is still poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to examine whether the change in ... Read more...
From consensus structure prediction to RNA gene finding.
30 Oct 2009
Reliable structure prediction is a prerequisite for most types of bioinformatical analysis of RNA. Since the accuracy of structure prediction from single sequences is limited, one often resorts to computing the consensus structure for a set of ... Read more...
Effect of adipose tissue on the sexual dimorphism in metabolic flexibility.
30 Oct 2009
Metabolic flexibility is the ability to transition between fat oxidation (fasting state) and glucose oxidation (fed state). We hypothesized that adipose tissue inflammation and lipid metabolism contribute to sexual dimorphism in metabolic ... Read more...
