What is dystrophin?
300
DNA wraps and compacts around this protein, with this charge.
What is positively charged histone?
300
These are the processes in which RNA is produced from DNA and proteins from RNA, respectively
What are transcription and translation?
300
This small structure, containing around 20 nucleotides, is primarily used in gene regulation
What is miRNA?
