Investigators in the laboratory of Gemma Carvill, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Ken and Ruth Davee Department of Neurology Division of Epilepsy/Clinical Neurophysiology, have discovered novel ...

Biologists have discovered a new type of RNA-splicing regulation that helps to determine which protein-coding exons will be included in messenger RNA transcripts. RNA splicing is a cellular ...

Each mRNA transcript contains coding regions, known as exons, and noncoding regions, known as introns. They also include sites that act as signals for where splicing should occur, allowing the ...

The CBSE Class 12 Biology exam, set for March 25, 2025, demands more than memorization—it requires conceptual clarity, ...

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

and the noncoding sections interspersed among the exons are known as introns. During splicing, which occurs after transcription (i.e., the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template), the introns are ...

RNA splicing is a modification of the nascent pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) transcript in which introns are removed and exons are joined prior to translation. For many eukaryotic introns ...

Large Introns suggest the presence of transcriptional elements and Exons that exhibit interspecies variations, similar to the Dystrophin gene. In silico analysis of the Introns within the PRKN gene ...

A child with a rare genetic disorder — spinal muscular atrophy type I — was treated prenatally for the first time. Courtesy of Jakob Owens  via Unsplash During an amniocentesis test, a long, thin ...
