Abstract

The article presents an encyclopedia entry for RNA-editing. It refers to a mechanism which is post-transcriptional and is mediated by RNA editases. The mechanism results in a site-selective deamination of adenosine to inosine. It affects codons and splicing in nuclear transcripts and also alters protein functions.

Abstract

A definition of the term "deamination" is presented. Deamination of DNA refers to a process which converts or changes a 5-methyl-cytosine into a thymine.
