The findings suggest that the control of RNA splicing, a process that is fundamental to gene expression, is more complex than previously known. "Splicing in more complex organisms, like humans, is ...

In a new study, Chinese researchers have discovered the previously unrecognized role of alternative splicing of the DOC2A gene in schizophrenia. The research was conducted by scientists led by LI Ming ...

The modulation of RNA splicing by small molecules has emerged as a promising strategy for treating pathogenic infections, human genetic diseases, and cancer; however, the principles by which splicing ...

Scientists at the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and the University of Las Vegas Nevada (UNLV) have uncovered a genetic link between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and a rare genetic condition ...

Scientists have developed a hierarchical Transformer-based artificial intelligence model that predicts RNA splice sites across DNA sequences up to 100,000 base pairs long while preserving ...

If you want to beat the heat of the summer sun, slowing down and doing less is a good strategy. However, researchers have ...

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 ...

For decades, researchers studying myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) have focused on the disease's underlying genetic cause: a ...

Arthex Biotech, a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing RNA-based therapeutics for neuromuscular disorders, today ...

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 ...
