A type of this molecule important in spermatogenesis interacts with piwi proteins.
A type of this molecule important in spermatogenesis interacts with piwi proteins. The cr and tracr ("tracer") varieties of this molecule are used to guide Cas9 in the CRISPR/Cas system. Isolating this molecule requires frequently spraying the lab bench with ethanol and a solution that "zaps" enzymes that degrade this molecule. A form of this molecule associates with a RISC complex to regulate gene expression. Hammerhead and peptidyl transferase are examples of this molecule that possess catalytic activity. This molecule is distinguished by the presence of a hydroxyl on carbon 2 of its sugar backbone in contrast to its deoxy form. For 10 points, name this type of nucleic acid found in "messenger" and "transfer" varieties.
