Messenger Rna (Mrna) (Anthromorphemics)

A form of RNA that copies the DNA code in the nucleus and transports it to the ribosome.

Messenger Rna (Mrna) (Anthropology)

A form of RNA that copies the DNA code in the nucleus and transports it to the ribosome.

Messenger Rna (Mrna) (Bioinformatics)

The complementary RNA copy of DNA formed from a single-stranded DNA template during transcription that migrates from the nucleus to the cytoplasm where it is processed into a sequence carrying the information to code for a polypeptide domain.

Messenger Rna (Mrna) (Biotechnology)

The ribonucleic acid molecule that transmits the genetic information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where it directs protein synthesis.

Messenger Rna (Mrna) (Evolution)

A kind of RNA produced by transcription from the DNA and which acts as the message that is decoded to form proteins.

Messenger Rna (Mrna) (Fossils)

The molecule transcribed by DNA that then carries genetic information from a gene to the site in the cell where the information determines the order of amino acids in the synthesis of a protein.

Messenger Rna (Mrna) (Genetics)

The template for protein synthesis. Each set of three bases, or codons, in mRNA orders the production of a certain protein. The structure of mRNA is the same as one strand of DNA.

Messenger Rna (Mrna) (Genetics and Genealogy)

RNA that serves as a template for protein synthesis. Compare to Transfer RNA. See Genetic Code.

Messenger Rna (Mrna) (Genome)

RNA that serves as a template for protein synthesis.
See also: genetic code

Messenger Rna (Mrna) (Huntingtons Disease)

The mediating molecule between DNA and protein synthesis.

Messenger Rna (Mrna) (Microbiology)

Proteins are not synthesized directly from genomic DNA. Instead, an RNA template (a precursor mRNA) is constructed from the sequence of the gene. This RNA is then processed in various ways, including splicing. Spliced single-stranded RNAs destined to become templates for protein synthesis are known as mRNAs, The term mRNA is used only for a mature transcript with polyA tail and with all introns removed, rather than the primary transcript in the nucleus. As such, an mRNA will have a 5' untranslated region, a coding region, a 3' untranslated region and (almost always) a poly(A) tail. Typically about 2% of the total cellular RNA is mRNA. See genetic code.

Messenger Rna (Mrna) (Science)

RNA that carries the genetic code of DNA; functions in protein synthesis
