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 ...
RNA splicing is a modification of the nascent pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) transcript in which introns are removed and exons are joined prior to translation. For many eukaryotic introns ...
Researchers unveil the inner mechanisms of the most intricate and complex molecular machine in human biology. Scientists at the Centre (CRG) in Barcelona have developed the first comprehensive ...
Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Envisagenics focuses on using AI to analyse errors in RNA splicing, a process in which a precursor form of messenger RNA (mRNA) – which is used as a template for ...
Working at the interface of RNA splicing and breast cancer biology, our current focus is on regulation of breast cancer metastasis driven by alternative splicing. We use molecular biology, genomics, ...
However, for most genes, not all of the sequence contained in the RNA is used for coding proteins. These RNA molecules must first be processed, a step called splicing, cutting out noncoding bits and ...
The realization that most human genes generate multiple mRNAs encoding divergent protein isoforms via alternative splicing and polyadenylation has revealed extensive regulation that remains to be ...
