Pre-mRNA splicing in a subset of human short introns is governed by a distinct mechanism involving a new splicing factor, new research finds. The interrupted non-coding regions in pre-mRNAs, termed ...
Researchers confirm that the established pre-mRNA splicing mechanism that appears in textbooks cannot work in a subset of human short introns: A novel SAP30BP–RBM17 complex-dependent splicing has been ...
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 ...
Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic uncovered the global unpreparedness to deal with novel emerging viral pathogens, underscoring the need to identify targets for developing ...
The structure of a key enzyme involved in protein production is revealed by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Using cryo-EM, researchers at Goethe University (Frankfurt, Germany) shed light on ...
Pre-mRNA splicing in a subset of human short introns is governed by a distinct mechanism involving a new splicing factor Protein-coding genes carry the blueprint for protein production. In higher ...
