This article describes the three main types of RNA - messenger RNA (mRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and transfer RNA (tRNA).

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a type of non-coding RNA that is a crucial component of ribosomes, the cellular machinery responsible for protein synthesis. Non-coding RNA refers to RNA molecules that are not ...

Transfer RNA, or tRNA, decodes the genetic information held in the mRNA and helps add amino acids to a growing protein chain. Scientists estimate that human cells have more than 500 different tRNAs.

An RNA ’s structure determines how the molecule functions, including whether it acts as a tRNA (transfer RNA), an rRNA (ribosomal RNA), or an mRNA (messenger RNA). Each of these molecule types perform ...

Entire new classes of molecules don't come along every day, so it is worth noting that the classic triumvirate of RNA-mRNA, tRNA, rRNA-has just gotten a baby brother. Three independent research teams ...

RNA-seq lets us investigate and discover the transcriptome, the total cellular content of RNAs including mRNA, rRNA and tRNA. Understanding the transcriptome is key if we are to connect the ...

Nm has been found in mRNA, tRNA, rRNA and snRNA, preferentially in the first two nucleotides adjacent to the 5' cap. Nm stops reverse transcription and therefore may regulate the biological activity ...

Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules are responsible for delivering amino acids to the ribosomes during protein synthesis. Each tRNA molecule has an anticodon that is complementary to a specific codon on the ...

This article describes the production of 18S, 5.8S, 28s, and 5S rRNAs in eukaryotes, and post-translational modifications of tRNA and mRNA.
