RNA editing is a molecular process through which the nucleotide sequence of an RNA molecule is altered after transcription, allowing for a modification in the RNA sequence that is not encoded by the DNA. This process can lead to the production of different protein variants from a single gene, increasing the diversity of the proteome. Unlike RNA splicing, which removes introns from the pre-mRNA, RNA editing directly changes the nucleotide sequence of the RNA.
