mRNA splicing is a fundamental part of the process that occurs when encoded DNA instructions are turned into a functional protein. After a gene is transcribed from DNA to RNA, extraneous sections ...

RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don't code for proteins, called introns ...

A team of researchers has identified a mechanism that regulates the production of two different proteins from the same gene.

1 Alternative splice sites tend to be suboptimal allowing for modulation by RBPs. At the posttranscriptional level, nonsense mediated decay (NMD) is a process closely linked to alternative splicing ...

Plants survive cold by adjusting at cellular level. Scientists discovered that the PORCUPINE protein helps plants adapt to ...

A team of researchers from the Institute for Neurosciences, a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Miguel Hernández University (UMH) of Elche, in collaboration with ...

Scientists reveal how cancer cells manipulate RNA splicing, increasing tumor growth. A new study introduces antisense ...

Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Envisagenics focuses on using AI to analyse errors in RNA splicing, a process in which a precursor form of messenger RNA (mRNA) – which is used as a template for ...

A large-scale effort to identify sequences involved in silencing exon and splice site usage sheds some new light on the properties of these poorly understood motifs and demonstrates the potential ...
