pre-mRNA Processing02:01

pre-mRNA Processing

56.8K
In eukaryotic cells, transcripts made by RNA polymerase are modified and processed before exiting the nucleus. Unprocessed RNA is called precursor mRNA or pre-mRNA to distinguish it from mature mRNA.
Once about 20-40 ribonucleotides have been joined together by RNA polymerase, a group of enzymes adds a “cap” to the 5’ end of the growing transcript. In this process, a 5’ phosphate is replaced by modified guanosine that has a methyl group attached to it (7-Methyl...

Imprinting01:22

Imprinting

10.8K
Behavioral imprinting is observed in some newborn animals and occurs when they develop strong and specific attachments to another animal (usually a parent) following brief, early-life exposures. Offspring imprint onto parents within a brief period after birth or hatching; this time window is called the critical period. Once imprinting occurs, the bond established between the parents and their offspring is usually long-lasting.

Feedback Inhibition00:46

Feedback Inhibition

56.7K
Biochemical reactions are occurring constantly in cells, converting starting substances to different products, usually with the help of enzymes that speed the reactions. Without enzymes, it would take far too long for most reactions to occur to be useful to the cell!

Production Efficiency01:01

Production Efficiency

18.0K
Net production efficiency (NPE) is the efficiency at which organisms assimilate energy into biomass for the next trophic level. Due to low metabolic rates and less energy spent on thermoregulatory processes, the NPE of ectotherms (cold-blooded animals) is 10 times higher than endotherms (warm-blooded animals).

Area of Science:

  • Scientific communication
  • Scholarly publishing

Background:

  • Scientific publishing is lengthy, involving submission, peer review, and revisions, often taking years.
  • Authors can expedite this process by sharing early research versions online.
  • These early versions are known as preprints.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a history of article preprints.
  • To explore the use of preprints across various scientific disciplines.
  • To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of preprint adoption.

Main Methods:

  • Historical review of preprint practices.
  • Analysis of preprint usage in different scientific fields.
  • Discussion of benefits and drawbacks.

Main Results:

  • Preprints have a long history in some scientific fields.
  • They are a recent but growing trend in biology and medicine.
  • Preprints offer faster dissemination but may have associated challenges.

Conclusions:

  • Preprints can accelerate scientific communication.
  • Understanding their history and implications is crucial for researchers.
  • Further exploration of preprint servers and their impact is warranted.
