Definition that contains messenger rna
- translation (genetics) the process whereby genetic information coded in messenger RNA directs the formation of a specific protein at a ribosome in the cytoplasm
- translate determine the amino-acid sequence of a protein during its synthesis by using information on the messenger RNA
- transcription (genetics) the organic process whereby the DNA sequence in a gene is copied into mRNA; the process whereby a base sequence of messenger RNA is synthesized on a template of complementary DNA
- transcribe convert the genetic information in (a strand of DNA) into a strand of RNA, especially messenger RNA
- cdna single-stranded DNA that is complementary to messenger RNA or DNA that has been synthesized from messenger RNA by reverse transcriptase
- jacques monod French biochemist who (with Francois Jacob) explained how genes are activated and suggested the existence of messenger RNA (1910-1976)
- complementary dna single-stranded DNA that is complementary to messenger RNA or DNA that has been synthesized from messenger RNA by reverse transcriptase
- monod French biochemist who (with Francois Jacob) explained how genes are activated and suggested the existence of messenger RNA (1910-1976)
- gene expression conversion of the information encoded in a gene first into messenger RNA and then to a protein
- operator gene a gene that activates the production of messenger RNA by adjacent structural genes
