Cells have a natural editing system that allows them to rearrange genetic instructions to create different proteins from the ...

In addition to consensus sequences at their splice sites, eukaryotic genes with long introns also contain exonic splicing enhancers (ESEs). These sequences, which help position the splicing ...

Not just any sacrifice would appease its capricious tastes, however. Some days, it demanded the flesh of storied warriors.

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 ...

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

A human-specific NOVA1 variant changed mouse vocalizations, potentially providing insights into the evolution of language.

Alternative splicing plays a pivotal role in defining cell phenotypes and physiology in multicellular eukaryotes, often distinguishing between cell types more accurately than gene expression. 1 During ...

A pioneering study has uncovered the sophisticated tactics root-knot nematodes use to manipulate the genetic machinery of ...

Alternative splicing is crucial for eukaryotic gene expression and influences protein function and regulation, with mis-splicing linked to numerous diseases. In this webinar, Dr. Megan L Noonan will ...

How can only 25,000-30,000 protein-coding genes in humans produce the massive variety of proteins, cells, and tissues that exist in our bodies? The answer: alternative splicing. A critical finding ...
