NIH SciBites: Learning How Genetic Typos Escape Cells’ Editors

Sanatate

It’s pretty rare to find a typo in a book thanks to the work of eagle-eyed editors. When our cells make the messenger RNA molecules that help turn DNA’s genetic instructions into hard-working proteins, those RNA molecules also go through an editing process to correct any errors. Darren Boydston, a graduate student in the Intramural Research Program at the National Institutes of Health, is studying two proteins that help a particular RNA editor in our cells do its job. By providing insights into
