A genetic process known as “alternative splicing” involves cutting out specific gene segments and joining the remaining segments to form messenger RNA (mRNA) during transcription. By putting ...

New findings from researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center help explain how the 20,000 to 25,000 genes in the human genome can make the hundreds of thousands of different proteins in our bodies.

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 ...

Either of the components, called U1 and U2, can attach first and the process works equally well. “The process is much more sensible than we originally thought,” Gelles says. Now that scientists ...

Scientists have found that a singular gene mutation helps brain cancer cells to not ... San Diego Health Sciences. (2013, May 31). Oncogene mutation hijacks splicing process to promote growth and ...

Certain sequences correlated with changes in splicing efficiency, some increasing and some decreasing it. Other parts of the gene also had an impact. The researchers suggest that it is possible to ...

Mischel, who heads the Ludwig Institute's molecular pathology laboratory based at UC San Diego, and colleagues focused upon a process called alternative splicing, in which a single gene encodes ...

A Harvard team has discovered a link between aging and a core biological process known as RNA splicing, which may be manipulated to not only increase our lifespan, but help us stay healthy for longer.

While humans can escape the heat by seeking shade or shedding layers, plants remain rooted in place. So how do they survive ...

The study, "Global impact of unproductive splicing on human gene expression levels and traits," was supported by funding from the National Institutes of Health (grants R01GM130738, R01HG011067 ...
