In vertebrates, large exons often skip splicing events and are evolutionarily conserved. Scientists have recently identified the mechanism behind regulated splicing of large constitutive exons which ...
In vertebrates, large exons often skip splicing events and are evolutionarily conserved. Scientists from Nagoya University, Japan, led by Associate Professor Akio Masuda, have recently identified the ...
On some level, biology is all about regulation, regulation, regulation. One way that our cells regulate their genes is through a process called alternative splicing, which entails the selective ...
The human genome is just over 6 feet 8 inches long, which is 2 inches taller than the average NBA basketball player and in total, a lot of nucleotides! But what if the amount of sequence diversity ...
This article was review by Thomas Cooper, MD from Baylor College of Medicine. Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Located throughout the pre-mRNA are short, cis-acting ...
Transcribe, splice, and everything’s nice—at least in healthy people. Scientists are finding that abnormal splicing, and genetic variants that cause it, may kickstart some neurodegenerative diseases.
While some details of the mechanisms of splicing remain to be worked out, it’s known that mature, edited mRNAs result from an interplay between multiple factors within and outside the transcript ...
Korea Brain Research Institute (KBRI, President Suh Pann-ghill) announced that the research team led by Dr. Jae-Yeol Joo discovered new cryptic splice variants and SNVs in PLCg1 gene of AD-specific ...
