Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

In their paper posted on the bioRxiv preprint ... Plants droop and shed their leaves when parched, but with a splash of water, their stems regain strength and their leaves unfurl. This dramatic ...

Feb. 11, 2025 — A recent study by two biological science researchers found that a pathogen for bird pink eye remained viable on bird feeders in winter months much ... 'Junk' RNA Segments Play ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

Olga Pawluczyk (BASc '98) is CEO of P&P Optica (PPO) which provides advanced automated inspection systems for food safety and quality assurance in meat processing plants. Their patented Smart Imaging ...

A Brillouin spectroscopy study of the apple fruit cuticle indicates spatial micro-mechanical inhomogeneities exist between the periclinal and anticlinal regions.

SMN1 brings together the complex and is essential for spliceosome assembly. Since motor neurons are particularly sensitive to SMN1 mutations, additional roles for the SMN complex in these cells are ...
