RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don't code for proteins, called introns, are cut ...

Technological and computational advances in recent years, from cryo-electron microscopy to sequencing technologies and machine learning, have substantially deepened our understanding of RNA splicing, ...

Cancers driven by hiccups in RNA processing can’t hide from our immune system, according to new work published today in Cell. A cross-institutional team Fred Hutch Cancer Center and Memorial Sloan ...

All living organisms face the problem of parasites — entities that thrive on others, often at the hosts’ expense. As a result, life is characterized by the presence of defence systems that keep such ...

Alzheimer's Disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia, affects nearly 40 million individuals globally, resulting in a gradual loss of memory and independence. Despite extensive research over the ...

Omics technologies have enabled researchers to study the molecular functions of human tissues. But some tissues—like the brain—are harder to access than others. Because of the limited access to living ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia, affects nearly 40 million individuals globally, resulting in a gradual loss of memory and independence. Despite extensive research over the ...

Treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) depends on knowing what goes wrong inside cells. A new study suggests that two genetic mutations—IDH2 and SRSF2—work cooperatively to mis-splice RNA messages and ...

On Tuesday, Nobel laureate Thomas Cech spoke at the I Hotel and Conference Center in Champaign about his groundbreaking research on ribonucleic acid, also known as RNA. Cech’s talk covered the ...

Scientists at the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and the University of Las Vegas Nevada (UNLV) have uncovered a genetic link between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and a rare genetic condition ...

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 process ...
