Alternative splicing, a clever way a cell generates many different variations of messenger RNAs—single-stranded RNAs involved in protein synthesis—and proteins from the same stretch of DNA, plays an ...

A multi-institutional group of researchers led by Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) has linked a strong cancer driver gene to changes in proteins that regulate alternative splicing. The ...

A study using long-read RNA sequencing uncovered thousands of previously unknown RNA variants in immune cells. The results ...

BACKGROUND: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has become the most prevalent type of heart failure, a ...

A recent study highlights the pivotal role of alternative splicing in controlling plant secondary metabolism, which is crucial for producing bioactive compounds with significant medicinal and ...

Alternative splicing is a genetic process where different segments of genes are removed, and the remaining pieces are joined together during transcription to messenger RNA (mRNA). This mechanism ...

Alternative splicing, a clever way a cell generates many different variations of messenger RNAs - single-stranded RNAs involved in protein synthesis - and proteins from the same stretch of DNA, plays ...

What eventually becomes a graduate student’s PhD thesis work is rarely the project they initially pursued. However, in rare cases like with recent PhD graduate Dr. April Lo from Dr. Alice Berger’s Lab ...

Researchers have uncovered a previously underappreciated mechanism that helps immune cells respond rapidly to infections.

A multi-institutional group of researchers has linked a strong cancer driver gene to changes in proteins that regulate alternative splicing. The researchers created new computational tools and ...
