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 ...

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 ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- 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 ...

In eukaryotic genetics, the one-gene/one-protein concept has, for the most part, breathed its last. Researchers have rallied behind mechanisms such as alternative splicing, which may allow a lowly ...

Rather than representing a distinct gene product, this peptide arises from alternative splicing events within the IGF-1 gene locus, leading to a unique E-domain sequence with properties that diverge f ...

In a new study, researchers demonstrate that deregulation of a protein called RBFOX2, involved in RNA splicing, contributes to the progression and metastasis of pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer ...

Transgenic worm in which the splicing factor UNC-75, marked with the fluorophore mScarlet, reveals its expression throughout the nervous system. The worm was generated using CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing ...

Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) researchers harness long-read RNA sequencing to decode genetic intricacies and disease links. Alternative splicing, a process where a single gene can give ...

Cross-species research shows that RNA splicing patterns, not just gene activity, track maximum lifespan in mammals, revealing a new axis of longevity control.

A team of researchers from the Institute for Neurosciences, a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Miguel Hernández University (UMH) of Elche, in collaboration with ...
