Question
Chapter 16.6, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction
To differentiate: The different kinds of posttranscriptional gene regulations.
Introduction: The posttranscriptional gene regulation involves the regulation of gene expression by modification doing modifications into mRNA. It can be done by following methods such as RNA splicing, Addition of poly-A tail, and RNA editing.
