This image illustrates the chemical structures of the five main nucleobases found in DNA and RNA. The pyrimidines, thymine (DNA), uracil (RNA), and cytosine are shown on top while the purines, adenine ...

RNA interference, or RNAi, is a form of gene regulation. Once genes are transcribed into RNA and spliced into a mature messenger RNA, they are normally translated into proteins. If a second RNA can ...
