Abstract -- This paper presents putational single uridine can change dramatically the amino acid
methodology using ic Algorithms (GA) for sequence obtained; in this case, a termination codon is
exploring the nature of RNA editing. These models are introduced. It is important to retain that a mRNA molecule
constructed using several ic editing can be more or less edited according to the concentrations
characteristics that are gleaned from the RNA editing of the editing operators it encounters. Thus, several

expanded the traditional ic Algorithm with anism or even a cell, if all (or some) of the mRNA’s
artificial editing mechanisms as proposed by (Rocha, obtained from the same gene, but edited differently, are
