How can only 25,000-30,000 protein-coding genes in humans produce the massive variety of proteins, cells, and tissues that exist in our bodies? The answer: alternative splicing. A critical finding ...

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. Next, the snRNPs U2 and U4/U6 appear to ...

In a recent article, he showed that when genes are preferentially positioned near speckles, mRNA splicing is significantly more efficient. 4 “It’s huge for the RNA processing field, because now it ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have successfully executed a practical trial of a new genome-editing technique that allows ...

Dyne Therapeutics’ DYNE-101 shows positive results in phase 1/2 ACHIEVE study. Read why DYN stock may rise with FDA approval and a $2.78B market opportunity.

Research into splicing mechanisms and patterns is essential for decerning fundamental biological principles, as well as clarifying the molecular basis of many diseases and developing new therapies. 2 ...

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 ...

Spliceosome structures have been investigated extensively in the past decade, but most of the studies have been restricted to ...

Skyhawk Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel small molecule therapies designed to ...

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 ...
