How can only 25,000-30,000 protein-coding genes in humans produce the massive variety of proteins, cells, and tissues that exist in our bodies? The answer: alternative splicing. A critical finding ...

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 ...

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis, and understanding the ...

Christine Guthrie, a molecular geneticist whose studies of eukaryotic RNA yielded crucial insights into the workings of pre-mRNA splicing, the process by which introns are removed to produce mature ...

A lternative 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 ...

Messenger RNA carries genetic information from DNA in the highly protected nucleus out to the rest of the cell, where structures called ribosomes can build proteins according to the DNA blueprint.

The role of gut microbiome and inflammation in endometriosis. Endometriosis, which causes pain in the pelvis and lower abdomen and can lead to infertility, afflicts 1 in 10 women in reproductive age.

isoforms and splicing variants as compared to our 3’ mRNA-seq solutions,” said Riccardo Dainese, PhD, CEO and co-founder of Alithea Genomics. “For the first time, scientists are able to ...
