RNA splicing involves the removal of non-coding introns and the joining of coding exons in precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) to produce mature messenger RNA (mRNA). Splicing changes can lead to diseases, ...

Pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the most common acute leukemias in children. While treatment outcomes have improved in recent years, approximately 30% of patients relapse following ...

While humans can escape the heat by seeking shade or shedding layers, plants remain rooted in place. So how do they survive extreme heat? It’s a question many have wondered—and now, science has 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 ...

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 ...

Computational biologists have uncovered how RNA splicing -- a crucial process for isoform expression and protein diversity -- is regulated across different cell types in the peripheral blood. This ...

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 ...

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 ...

Collaboration with UMass Chan Medical School confirmed FMR1-217 as well as an RNA-targeted mechanism to restore functional FMRP protein to develop potential treatments for FXS QurAlis’ preliminary ...

For years, two siblings with the distinctive facial features of Treacher Collins syndrome had no genetic explanation for ...
