Features: This book comprehensively introduces recent advances and research hotspots in ribonucleic acid, such as: ribosomes being ribozymes, ribosomes catalyzing peptide bond biosynthesis, regulatory RNAs like RNA interference, small interfering RNA, microRNA, small nucleolar RNA, non-coding RNA, and microsatellite RNA, which regulate DNA and RNA at the DNA and RNA levels, respectively. It covers the rewriting and reading of DNA and RNA information. From this book, readers can understand the relationship between ribonucleic acid and human diseases, as well as the application prospects of various RNA technologies, including antisense ODN, ribozymes, triple helix-forming oligodeoxyribonucleotides, ligand RNA, RNA interference and small interfering RNA, primers, c-tetraplexes, and oligodeoxyribonucleotides involved in DNA methylation. The book also explores the RNA world in the early stages of life's origin and the hidden contemporary RNA world, as well as the emerging field of ribonucleic acid genomics. This book serves as a reference for researchers and educators in life science research and can be used as a learning resource for senior undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students in life science programs.
