RNA editing refers to RNA processing events (other than splicing) that alter the protein-coding sequences of some mRNAs.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RNA editing can change the sequence of nucleotides in mRNA, which can result in a different amino acid sequence being translated during protein synthesis. This can have significant functional consequences for the resulting protein. Examples of RNA editing include the conversion of adenosine to inosine in some mRNAs, as well as the addition or subtraction of nucleotides in some cases.
