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 ...
On some level, biology is all about regulation, regulation, regulation. One way that our cells regulate their genes is through a process called alternative splicing, which entails the selective ...
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 ...
Findings on Fugu gene splicing could help scientists develop pufferfish transgenes for mammalian cells, say researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Fugu genome contains all the ...
Aided by two molecular control factors, the spliceosome rejects pre-mRNA that could be incorrectly spliced. While GPATCH1 detects the defective pre-mRNA, DHX35 removes it from the spliceosome, which ...
