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 ...

What is the full form of RNA? Explore its meaning, single-stranded structure, functions, how it differs from DNA, its role in ...

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 ...

Researchers discovered an alternative way to classify distinct types of colon cancer, making the information more valuable to patients and their doctors as they consider treatment. Currently, colon ...

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 ...

Alternative splicing (AS) has the potential to expand the number of functional peptides encoded in messenger RNA. Large-scale transcriptomics studies have confirmed that nearly all protein-coding ...

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 ...

Germinal center B cells play a pivotal role in the generation of long-lived plasma cells and high-affinity antibodies. Although RNA splicing and alternative splicing are known to regulate germinal ...

CSHL’s Krainer lab used a technique called live-cell fluorescence imaging to observe the DDX23 enzyme (above, in green) in action. Together with the critical regulator protein SRSF1, DDX23 helps set ...

Type-II diabetes is a chronic disease caused by insulin resistance due to pancreatic β-cell dysfunction. Mutations in a single gene, HNF1A, which codes for the transcription factor hepatocyte nuclear ...

The cover of Aging-US Volume 17, Issue 12, features Figure 5 from the research paper, titled "A combination of differential expression and network connectivity analyses identifies a common set of RNA ...

Biochemist and molecular geneticist Adrian Krainer sits down with Chief Content Officer Randall Lane to discuss his work in ...
