Researchers at the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona have created the first blueprint of the human spliceosome, the most complex and intricate molecular machine inside every cell. The ...

In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell select this information? A large molecular machine called the spliceosome ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

After a decade of work, scientists have completed a molecular model of the human spliceosome, an incredibly complex cellular machine. When an active gene is expressed in a cell, it is transcribed into ...

A conserved region of U6 small nuclear RNA has been implicated in binding an essential metal ion. Is this a glimpse of the spliceosome's catalytic core? Identifying divalent metal ion binding sites in ...

Watching fruit flies buzz around the ripe bananas in your kitchen, you might think it’s a tad ludicrous, mortifying even, that humans have a similar number of genes—about 23,000—as the lowly insects.
