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.
How does the splicing machinery distinguish between exons, which are part of the mature mRNA, and introns, which are removed from the pre-mRNA? Alternative splicing adds an extra layer of ...
This study provides important insights into the regulation of a retained intron in the mRNA coding for OGT, a process known to be regulated by the O-GlcNAc cycling system, and highlights the ...
A new study has uncovered the complex genetic interaction between root-knot nematodes and tomato plants, revealing how these ...
Hope for a much-needed treatment for the common pregnancy complication pre-eclampsia has been raised by a successful test of ...
They found that strains lacking genes relating to mRNA splicing failed to undergo this transition. Alternative splicing promotes adaptation to environmental changes; in fungi, the most common example ...
Insights into protein synthesis processes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes are crucial for advancements in genetics, ...
The German gene therapy developer will test VG801 in patients with Stargardt disease and other retinal dystrophies linked with ABCA4 mutations.
