A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed ...

Our knowledge of RNA splicing is quite new. Nonetheless, because nearly all eukaryotes have introns and share mechanisms of RNA splicing, splicing itself must be quite ancient. Proponents of the ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Despite its significance, alternative splicing’s global impact on cellular homeostasis and intricate molecular mechanisms remains ...

A new process that is essential to the synthesis of cellular proteins has been discovered by an international research team. The process known as splicing causes the cell's protein-making ...

A sophisticated molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures the accurate assembly of genetic information from the genome into ...

Chen, M. & Manley, J. L. Mechanisms of alternative splicing regulation: Insights from molecular and genomics approaches. Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 10, 741–754 (2009) doi:10.1038/nrm2777.

The pathogenic mechanism is disruption of developmentally regulated RNA processing, primarily alternative splicing, in which failure to express adult splicing patterns causes primary features of the ...

tRNA splicing occurs in two stages ... requirement for a 2’-PO 4 in the ligation step of fungal/plant tRNA ligase; (ii) developing a kinetic mechanism for the healing and sealing steps; (iii) ...

Previously my research centered on pre-mRNA splicing mechanisms in the nematode, C. elegans. We discovered that numerous operons exist in the genome of this animal.

We study minor spliceosome which is a parallel pre-mRNA splicing machinery in the cells of most metazoan organisms. Our main aim is to investigate mechanism and regulation of this nuclear machinery, ...

SEED Therapeutics announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted Rare Pediatric Disease and Orphan Drug designations to ...
