Question
Chapter 9, Problem 65RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The mechanism by which the miRNA is used to treat hepatitis C.
Concept Introduction:
RNA (ribonucleic acid) is the
RNA carries the information stored in DNA. It is mainly of three types- messenger RNA, transfer RNA, and ribosomal RNA and other than these new small RNA molecules are also discovered. These include micro RNAs. These micro RNAs are non-coding sequences.
