RNA Editing

Medical Definition:	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).
Guide Notes:	a type of post-transcriptional RNA processing
Previously Indexed:	RNA Processing, Post-Transcriptional (1988-1992)
