- mRNA: Messenger RNA. Encodes amino acids sequences.
- tRNA: Transfer RNA. Carries amino acids to ribosome during translation.
- rRNA: Ribosomal RNA. Makes up ribosomes.
- snRNA: Small Nuclear RNA (U1, U2, U4, U5, and U6).
- sRNA: Small RNA. Binds to protein or mRNA targets, and regulates gene expression.
- miRNA: Micro RNA. A family of sRNA that regulates gene expression in a sequence-specific manner.
- siRNA: Small Interfering RNA.
- dsRNA: Double-Stranded RNA
- pre-mRNA: Precursor mRNA. Contains both exons and introns.
