In vertebrates, large exons often skip splicing events and are evolutionarily conserved. Scientists have recently identified the mechanism behind regulated splicing of large constitutive exons ...

This “splicing” mechanism makes this diversity possible. A copy of the pertinent instructions is created in the cell nucleus when a protein is needed.

However, each gene can lead to several RNA molecules through alternative splicing, an essential mechanism for multiple biological processes that can be altered in disease conditions.

The fundamental mechanism of splicing has been studied with model pre-mRNAs including 158- and 231-nt introns, for historical instance, that are spliced very efficiently in vitro and in vivo.

When this mechanism is disrupted, the blueprints used by the cell to produce proteins are inaccurately edited through a process called splicing.

Discovered in the 1970s, the mechanisms of RNA splicing have been well characterized through numerous studies in eukaryotic and prokaryotic systems. In this article, we describe the mechanisms of ...

New clues about aging: Genetic splicing mechanism triggers both premature aging syndrome and normal cellular aging Date: June 14, 2011 Source: NIH/National Human Genome Research Institute Summary ...

The study investigates the detailed mechanisms of alternative splicing in plant secondary metabolism, focusing on its effects on terpenoids, phenolic compounds, and nitrogen-containing metabolites.

However, each gene can lead to several RNA molecules through alternative splicing, an essential mechanism for multiple biological processes that can be altered in disease conditions.
