Preface Ribonucleic acids or RNAs are versatile. mRNAs serve as mediators of hereditary information from DNAs to proteins, tRNAs carry amino acids into the ribosome on mRNA, and rRNAs in the ribosome promote peptide bond formation between the amino acids. In addition, many diverse noncoding RNAs directly regulate gene expression in cis and/or trans. There are also many other types of RNAs known in nature, including RNA enzymes (ribozymes). It is considered
