mRNAs

Also if the repeat's flanking sequences are strongly conserved (about 10% of dinucleotide repeats have flanking sequences conserved throughout mammals) those mRNAs nearly always encode proteins critical to central nervous system development.

A further 4%-5% of reads map to unannotated genomic regions that can be aligned to spliced ESTs and mRNAs from high-throughput cDNA sequencing efforts, and only 2.2%-2.5% of reads cannot be explained by any of the aforementioned categories.

Junk DNA is still junk - The Panda's Thumb 2010

In biology, genetics, biochemistry, and molecular biology classes, one of the things that we used to learn that distinguishes prokaryotes from eukaryotes is the “fact” that eukaryotes have polyadenylated mRNAs, while prokaryotes do not.

The Panda's Thumb: Arthur Hunt Archives 2010

In a database study of all reported dinucleotide repeats in UTRs, the repeats were 9 times more likely to appear in mRNAs encoding membrane proteins than other activities.

Common Descent & Common Design – An Unexpected Outcome 2008

The results showed that aromatase and ERalpha mRNAs are expressed in hybrid males of inter-racial crosses (female22Rb x male40Std and female40Std x male22Rb) and in hybrid females of inter-racial crosses (female22Rb x male40Std) as in the two parental races.

The Rise of Human Chromosome 2: Beyond the Deme - The Panda's Thumb 2009

It is now well recognized that miRNAs regulate the levels of mRNAs, and/or the levels of the proteins produced from mRNAs.

He also presented a specific model showing how double-stranded RNA could function in a catalytic manner to target homologous mRNAs for degradation.

In addition, the RNA splicing process could generate different mRNAs, and more than one protein can emanate from the primary transcript (alternative splicing).

Second, silencing was specific for an mRNA homologous to the dsRNA; other mRNAs were unaffected.

It was known that long RNA molecules (pre-mRNA, heterogeneous nuclear RNA) are trimmed to much shorter mature mRNAs, and Sharp and Roberts therefore suggested that the mRNA sequences, the exons, are likely to be cut out from the primary transcript and spliced, while the intervening sequences, the introns, are degraded.
