RNA Editing
The DNA of eukaryotic genes are made of introns
and exons.
Introns are nucleotide sequences that are not
involved in coding for proteins.
Exons are the DNA sequences that code for proteins.
When an mRNA molecule is created, the introns and
exons are both copied from the DNA molecule even
