This template is intended for use on nucleic acid structure pages. To insert use: {{DNA RNA structure}}. On the primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure pages, it displays alternative versions of the image with the relevant section highlighted. Alternatively, for the non-interactive image, use [[File:DNA RNA structure (full).png]]

There are also a number of RNA-dependent RNA polymerases that use RNA as their template for synthesis of a new strand of RNA. For instance, a number of RNA viruses (such as poliovirus) use this type of enzyme to replicate their genetic material. [58] Also, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase is part of the RNA interference pathway in many organisms. [59]
A highly evolved [vague] RNA polymerase ribozyme was able to function as a reverse transcriptase, that is, it can synthesize a DNA copy using an RNA template. [36] Such an activity is considered [by whom?] to have been crucial for the transition from RNA to DNA genomes during the early history of life on earth. Reverse transcription capability ...
Antisense oligonucleotides can be used to target a specific, complementary (coding or non-coding) RNA. If binding takes place this hybrid can be degraded by the enzyme RNase H. [12] RNase H is an enzyme that hydrolyzes RNA, and when used in an antisense oligonucleotide application results in 80-95% down-regulation of mRNA expression. [6]
[[Category:Anime and manga infobox templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add <noinclude>[[Category:Anime and manga infobox templates]]</noinclude> to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.
First, convert each template DNA base to its RNA complement (note that the complement of A is now U), as shown below. Note that the template strand of the DNA is the one the RNA is polymerized against; the other DNA strand would be the same as the RNA, but with thymine instead of uracil. DNA -> RNA A -> U T -> A C -> G G -> C A=T-> A=U
Since T7 RNA polymerase can only transcribe in the 3' to 5' direction [15] the sense DNA is transcribed and an anti-sense RNA is produced. This is repeated, and the polymerase continuously produces complementary RNA strands of this template which results in amplification. Now a cyclic phase can begin similar to the previous steps.
