BACKGROUND: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has become the most prevalent type of heart failure, a ...

The cryo-EM structure of the splicing intermediate known as the C* complex from human. An HDR-independent therapeutic genome-editing approach corrected the splice-site mutation in Lama2 in a mouse ...

The biological heterogeneity of prostate cancer poses a major challenge to clinicians; no two tumors follow the same natural course, and patients' responses to therapy differ widely. Clinical ...

Alternative splicing (AS) is a key technique for increasing transcriptome and proteomic diversity from a small genome. Almost all human gene transcripts are alternatively spliced, resulting in protein ...

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 ...

Researchers have uncovered a previously underappreciated mechanism that helps immune cells respond rapidly to infections.

Alternative splicing, a clever way a cell generates many different variations of messenger RNAs—single-stranded RNAs involved in protein synthesis—and proteins from the same stretch of DNA, plays an ...

Researchers developed molecules, called splice-switching oligonucleotides (SSOs) that bind to the RNA molecules encoding a protein known as REST. In neuroendocrine tumors, these RNAs are incorrectly ...

Alternative splicing, a clever way a cell generates many different variations of messenger RNAs — single-stranded RNAs involved in protein synthesis — and proteins from the same stretch of DNA, plays ...

RNA splicing is a major underlying factor that links mutations to complex traits and diseases, according to an exhaustive analysis of gene expression in whole genome and cell line data. Researchers ...

Bodybuilders and cellular mechanisms agree generating protein is a heavy lift. To complete the task, cells rely on complexes called spliceosomes. These molecular machines snip extra bits out of our ...

Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a powerful new AI tool called Splam that can identify where splicing occurs in genes—an advance that could help scientists analyze genetic data with greater ...
