There is a strong correspondence between the average length of introns and the size of the genome. Here we review the latest summary statistics on human introns, the evolution of introns in mammals, and the distribution of genes that encode functional RNAs within introns. We also suggest that ...
2005. Puzzles of the human genome: why do we need our introns? Curr. Genomics 6:589 -595.Fedorova L, Fedorov A: Puzzles of the human genome: Why do we need our introns? Curr Genomics 2005, 6:589-595.L. Fedorova and A. Fedorov. Puzzles of the human genome: Why do we need our ...
Why do we use DNA primer for PCR but RNA primer for DNA polymerase in cells? Why do we extract RNA and then convert it into cDNA to put in the PCR instead of just extracting DNA? Why do introns need to be cut from an RNA transcript? Why does a PCR reaction require a primer?...
Why can't we build functioning DNA/RNA in a lab? Why is RNA primer required for DNA replication and why not DNA primer is useful? Why do some organisms need DNA and other RNAs as heredity materials? Why do introns need to be cut from an RNA transcript?
The predicted molecular weight (MW) of the protein is the sum of the molecular weights of all the protein's amino acids. It is easy to calculate, e.g., using the freeonline ExPASy tool.Often the calculated MW is different from that observed o...
Why is it necessary to study mutations in both exon and introns? Why is mitochondrial DNA used so much in phylogenetic analysis? Why do we need to convert DNA to RNA to make proteins? Why can't we skip the process of transcription? Is DNA data storage overrated? What is the role of ...
Why do introns need to be cut from an RNA transcript? What are the functions of RNA? Why is DNA not used directly as a code for protein synthesis and instead, a messenger RNA must be transcribed? Why do some organisms need DNA and other RNAs as heredity materials? Why is there a need...
Why do we extract RNA and then convert it into cDNA to put in the PCR instead of just extracting DNA? Why do introns need to be cut from an RNA transcript? Why can't RNA polymerase add thymine? How can DNA be transcribed to RNA? Why is it important that DNA replicat...
What are introns, and how do they affect the processing of genetic information? What is genomics? What is its purpose? How plasmids are used to amplify and express genes? a. Why are bacterial cells often used as the "workhorses" to create recombinant DNA and other modern biotechnolog...
