Guide RNAs (gRNAs) are tiny RNA [ribonucleic acid] transcripts that guide the editing machinery through base-pairing with the mRNAs [messenger ribonucleic acids] in edited regions. gRNAs are complementary to small segments of the fully edited mRNAs, and thus serve as mini-templates to guide the addition and deletion of Us from the pre-edited mRNA as they form a locally double-stranded RNA helix. 4, record 3, English, - guide%20ribonucleic%20acid

No one studying molecular biology can escape the impact that the CRISPR/Cas9 system has had on the field. In its natural environment, it functions as an adaptive bacterial immune system that can remember past viral infections. However, it is mainly known and popular as a highly versatile and precise tool for gene editing.... At the heart of the system is Cas9, a programmable and sequence‐specific endonuclease that introduces double‐strand breaks into DNA, which can be exploited to modify the DNA sequence in many different ways. The Cas9 cleavage site is determined by a small RNA molecule, termed guide RNA(gRNA), that base pairs with the target DNA and at the same time binds to Cas9 to initiate the site‐specific double‐strand break... 5, record 3, English, - guide%20ribonucleic%20acid

Since 1991, Canada's monetary policy framework has consisted of two main elements–an inflation target and a flexible exchange rate. This framework has allowed Canada to pursue an independent monetary policy–a policy suited to our own circumstances. The two main elements work together and reinforce each other. The result has been low and stable inflation, with less volatility in output and employment.... To summarize, our monetary policy framework has served us well in maintaining a domestic environment of growth and stability.

Depuis 1991, le cadre de conduite de la politique monétaire du Canada repose sur deux éléments principaux : une cible d'inflation et un régime de changes flexibles. Grâce à ce cadre, le Canada a pu mener une politique monétaire indépendante, adaptée à sa conjoncture propre. Ces deux éléments fonctionnent de concert et se renforcent mutuellement. Ils ont permis d'obtenir un taux d'inflation bas et stable, tout en réduisant la volatilité de la production et de l'emploi. [...] En résumé, notre cadre de conduite de la politique monétaire nous a bien servis, en nous permettant de maintenir un climat de croissance et de stabilité au pays. Conjugué aux autres politiques intérieures, il a aidé le Canada à s'adapter à de profondes transformations de l'économie mondiale. [...] Notre cadre de conduite de la politique monétaire aide l'économie canadienne à absorber les chocs externes et à s'ajuster aux conditions changeantes. 1, record 12, French, - cadre%20de%20conduite%20de%20la%20politique%20mon%C3%A9taire

Point detection refers to testing a sample that has been taken directly from the environment suspected of harboring the target agent. Needs in this regard include not only investigation of suspected sources of contamination but also monitoring the air/water systems in buildings for general pathogen contamination or contamination by specific biological agents. In point detection as in stand-off detection, many situations will demand neither exceptional sensitivity nor exceptional specificity. Assessment of the total microbial content may be sufficient to determine contamination and alert personnel to danger. 1, record 16, English, - point%20detection
