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.

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 ...

“The different and more complex architecture allows the U11 snRNP to specifically identify its rare substrates in the vast RNA sequence landscape of every ... At least a dozen other steps are needed ...

In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell ...

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.

RNA splicing is crucial for gene expression. After DNA is copied into messenger RNA (mRNA), noncoding parts called introns are removed, and the coding parts are spliced together.
