In a new study, Chinese researchers have discovered the previously unrecognized role of alternative splicing of the DOC2A ...

Genes contain the essential building instructions for life, guiding cells on which amino acids to assemble in what sequence to produce specific proteins. The human genome codes for about 20,000 such ...

This article was review by Thomas Cooper, MD from Baylor College of Medicine. Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Despite its significance, alternative splicing’s global ...

The modulation of RNA splicing by small molecules has emerged as a promising strategy for treating pathogenic infections, human genetic diseases, and cancer; however, the principles by which splicing ...

Bodybuilders and cellular mechanisms agree generating protein is a heavy lift. To complete the task, cells rely on complexes called spliceosomes. These molecular machines snip extra bits out of our ...

Treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) depends on knowing what goes wrong inside cells. A new study suggests that two genetic ...

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 which ...

Researchers in the Landau lab, led by Dr. Dan Landau, hematology and medical oncology, recently developed a new technique to investigate how mutations in RNA splicing can lead to clonal hematopoiesis ...

In vertebrates, large exons often skip splicing events and are evolutionarily conserved. Scientists from Nagoya University, Japan, led by Associate Professor Akio Masuda, have recently identified the ...
