The nucleus of each of your cells contains all the genetic information (the genome) necessary to build every type of cell and protein in your entire body. Like a complex library in a tiny space 50 ...

One idea has been that speckles are splicing factories. The splicing reaction would happen inside the speckle, and then the spliced product would leave. “What people found is that’s not what happens,” ...

This article was review by Thomas Cooper, MD from Baylor College of Medicine. Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Despite its significance, alternative splicing’s global ...

The modulation of RNA splicing by small molecules has emerged as a promising strategy for treating pathogenic infections, human genetic diseases, and cancer; however, the principles by which splicing ...

Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

Biologists have discovered a new type of RNA-splicing regulation that helps to determine which protein-coding exons will be included in messenger RNA transcripts. RNA splicing is a cellular process ...
