Modification and Editing of RNA

Abstract
This volume examines the various aspects of post-transcriptional RNA processing, including biosynthetic, genetic, and functional aspects of nucleoside modification and editing by nucleoside conversion as well as by nucleoside insertion/deletion. Written by leading researchers in the field, it includes descriptions of the different types of modification/editing, identification of the correspondending enzymes, discussion of cis- and trans- acting sequences, machineries, mechanisms, cellular locations, the biological role of individual modified/edited bases, involvement in diseases like cancer and AIDS, and possible evolutionaly connections between different processes. Modification and Editing of RNA is a valuable reference for researchers, teachers and students, and will be a useful tool for the planning of future research to solve many questions that remain. Electronic Only, 610 pages, illustrations, appendixes, index.
