Context examples:
A sequence of single-stranded RNA, that is 20-25 nucleotides in length, which is transcribed from DNA but is not translated into a protein.
(microRNA, NCI Thesaurus)
Ethyl methanesulfonate ethylates DNA, thereby damaging DNA and leading to genetic mutations, single-stranded breaks in DNA, and chromosomal aberrations.
(Ethyl Methanesulfonate, NCI Thesaurus)
A sequence of single-stranded RNA which is typically 20-25 nucleotides in length and may regulate the expression of other genes. miRNAs are transcribed from DNA, but are not translated into proteins.
(microRNA, NCI Thesaurus/CDISC)
A genus of enveloped viruses with a genome consisting of a single molecule of linear positive-sense single-stranded RNA.
(Flavivirus, NCI Thesaurus)
This inhibits the religation of topoisomerase I-mediated single-stranded DNA breaks and produces potentially lethal double-stranded DNA breaks when encountered by the DNA replication machinery, resulting in the inhibition of DNA replication and apoptosis.
(Mureletecan, NCI Thesaurus)
A family of very small DNA viruses containing a single linear molecule of single-stranded DNA and consisting of two subfamilies: parvovirinae and densovirinae.
(Parvovirus, NCI Thesaurus)
It is a non-enveloped, icosahedral virus that contains a single-stranded linear DNA genome; approximately equal proportions of DNA of positive and negative sense are found in separate particles.
(Parvovirus B19, NCI Thesaurus)
A family of spherical viruses, of the order MONONEGAVIRALES, somewhat larger than the orthomyxoviruses, and containing single-stranded RNA.
(Paramyxoviridae, NLM, Medical Subject Headings)
The NOVA2 KH3 domain interacts with single-stranded RNA; KH3 bound to stem loop RNA resembles a vise, with UCAC held between an invariant Gly-X-X-Gly motif and a variable loop.
(Neuro-Oncological Ventral Antigen 2, NCI Thesaurus)
A DNA/RNA chimera comprised of a single-stranded DNA molecule covalently bound to an internal guanosine of a RNA molecule.
(Multicopy Single-stranded DNA, NCI Thesaurus)
