A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication with serious risks for mother and child. The only real cure for preeclampsia is delivery. Now, a new mouse study reports that high levels of an mRNA splicing ...

RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don't code for proteins, called introns, are cut ...

Background Next-generation sequencing of cancer predisposition genes is routinely used in hereditary cancer diagnostics.

Each mRNA transcript contains coding regions, known as exons, and noncoding regions, known as introns. They also include sites that act as signals for where splicing should occur, allowing the cell to ...

RNA splicing, in which different coding RNA, or exons, are joined together after noncoding regions, or introns, are removed, allows for a large array of RNA transcript isoforms with distinct sequences ...

Cancers driven by hiccups in RNA processing can’t hide from our immune system, according to new work published today in Cell. A cross-institutional team Fred Hutch Cancer Center and Memorial Sloan ...

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 ...
