彻底搞清楚promoter, exon, intron, and UTR 有图有真相.ppt

* 彻底搞清楚promoter, exon, intron, and UTR 启动子: RNA聚合酶特异性识别和结合的DNA序列。 promoter自然不属于intron和Exon的任何一个，属于noncoding sequence。 noncoding RNA是现在研究的热点之一。我们常见的MiRNA,SiRNA, antisense RNA tech,这些都是属于ncRNA的范围。只要你在进一步问下：这些RNA是哪里来的？你就知道部分答案，跟那些看似跟编码蛋白没有关系的DNA序列有关系。这部分DNA有个统称就junk DNA，垃圾ＤＮＡ或者冗余DNA，他们编码的RNA就属于 ncRNA.RNAi就是迄今最经典的ncRNA功能典范。 An exon is a sequence of DNA that is expressed (transcribed) into RNA and then often, but with many noteworthy exceptions[1] , translated into protein. Adjacent exons may be separated by an intron, which is later removed from the RNA transcript via the splicing mechanism. (F
