What is the role of small RNA's in gene expression?
What is the role of small RNA's in gene expression?
Small RNA's play a role in gene expression by inhibiting expression of genes.
What is the function of Dicer in post transcriptional control?
What is the function of Dicer in post transcriptional control?
Dicer cuts double stranded RNA into smaller RNA's called microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA's).
How do miRNA's affect gene expression?
How do miRNA's affect gene expression?
miRNA's bind to mRNA and prevent translation.
