This process enables a single gene to produce multiple proteins; over evolutionary timescales, splicing can also change the size and content of genes and proteins, when different exons become included ...

Shown is the splicing pathway. The pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) has exons (blue) and introns (pink). The spliceosome (not shown) was known to catalyze two chemical reactions (black arrows) in a ...

When you can’t take down the kingpin, go after his accomplices. This strategy may work for cancer as well, according to scientists at Fred Hutch Cancer Center and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer ...

The human genome is just over 6 feet 8 inches long, which is 2 inches taller than the average NBA basketball player and in total, a lot of nucleotides! But what if the amount of sequence diversity ...

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 ...

One of the most long-standing, fundamental mysteries of biology surrounds the poorly understood origins of introns. Introns are segments of noncoding DNA that must be removed from the genetic code ...
