Heidelberg biochemists and structural biologists from Shanghai unravel the roles of two key regulatory factors in mRNA ...

A far-reaching study has cast doubt on statistical methods used to identify long-distance signaling networks in plants. The ...

“RNA editing is very powerful technologically,” says Takahiro Nakamura, a plant molecular biologist ... by dysregulation of gene activity and RNA splicing defects are thought to play a role ...

What's the difference between mRNA and pre-mRNA? It's all about splicing of introns. See how one RNA sequence can exist in nearly 40,000 different forms. Next, the snRNPs U2 and U4/U6 appear to ...

Two molecular control factors play a decisive role in what is known as splicing, the cutting and assembly of mature messenger RNA—a prerequisite for protein synthesis in the cell. The poorly ...

RBP splicing factors are sequence-specific, binding to their cognate sequence motifs like a lock and key. “Because the binding pocket of the RBP matches the sequence motif, the RBP binds to the ...
