Noun
/prɪˈrɑːnə/
pre-RNA refers to precursor RNA, which is a nucleic acid that serves as a direct template for the synthesis of mRNA and is involved in the early stages of gene expression. It is primarily used within biochemical and molecular biology contexts, especially in discussions related to genetics, transcription, and RNA processing. This term is more commonly used in written scientific literature rather than in everyday oral communication.
In molecular biology, the conversion of pre-RNA into mature mRNA is a critical step in gene expression.
(В молекулярной биологии преобразование пре-рнк в зрелую мРНК является критическим этапом в экспрессии генов.)
Researchers are studying how enzymes interact with pre-RNA during transcription.
(Исследователи изучают, как ферменты взаимодействуют с пре-рнк во время транскрипции.)
The stability of pre-RNA is crucial for accurate gene regulation.
(Стабильность пре-рнк имеет решающее значение для точной регуляции генов.)
While "pre-RNA" is a technical term and does not typically appear in idiomatic expressions, there are relevant phrases that can describe processes or situations involving RNA or DNA:
The gene is on trial - This can refer to the examination of how a specific gene affects pre-RNA.
(Ген находится на испытании.)
In the genetic game - This phrase might describe the intricate processes involved in genetics including pre-RNA formation.
(В генетической игре.)
The blueprint of life - This could be used metaphorically when discussing how pre-RNA contributes to gene expression.
(Чертеж жизни.)
Cutting edge of molecular research - This phrase can reflect the advanced studies surrounding pre-RNA and its functions.
(Передовой край молекулярных исследований.)
The term "pre-RNA" is derived from "pre-" meaning 'before' or 'prior to', combined with "RNA," which stands for ribonucleic acid. RNA comes from the Latin root "acidus," meaning 'sour,' referring to the acidic nature of nucleic acids.
Synonyms: - Precursor RNA - Primary RNA - Pre-mRNA (precursor messenger RNA)
Antonyms: - Mature RNA - mRNA (messenger RNA) - Processed RNA
In scientific contexts, the terms associated with pre-RNA are often based on stages or maturation levels of RNA, highlighting various forms during the molecular synthesis processes.
