Researchers in the Galej Group at EMBL Grenoble have provided new insights into the structure of the minor spliceosome, an essential RNA-protein ...

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

The cosmic superstructure Quipu is more than 13,000 times the length of the Milky Way, and its mass is 200 quadrillion times ...

Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing ...

A sophisticated molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures the accurate assembly of genetic information from the genome into ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

Most neurons that carry signals regarding movement and higher-level functions, such as thinking and reading ... Interneurons have a multipolar structure that allows them to receive multiple signals ...

In living organisms, protein molecules with different chemical structures called proteoforms, are produced from a single gene to perform a variety of physiological protein functions. It has been known ...

For example, the left or right side may be slightly higher or lower without affecting physical functions. During pregnancy, a woman's enlarged uterus can shift the abdominal space a bit, raising the ...
