As DNA is transcribed into RNA it needs to be edited to remove non-coding regions, or introns, shown in green. This editing process is called splicing, which involves removing the introns, leaving ...
The interrupted non-coding regions in pre-mRNAs, termed “introns,” are excised by “splicing” to generate mature coding mRNAs that are translated into proteins. As human pre-mRNA introns vary in length ...
University of California (UC), San Diego, biochemists studying the evolutionary origins and history of RNA splicing and the human genome combined two-dimensional (2D) images of individual molecules to ...
Our cells have to generate a massive number of proteins, and there is a carefully orchestrated procedure for doing so. It starts when active genes are transcribed into RNA, and while that RNA ...
Researchers confirm that the established pre-mRNA splicing mechanism that appears in textbooks cannot work in a subset of human short introns: A novel SAP30BP–RBM17 complex-dependent splicing has been ...
The Plant Cell is in its 19th year of publication. Within three years of its initial publication, it ranked first in impact among primary research journals in the plant sciences, a standard of ...
Pre-mRNA splicing in a subset of human short introns is governed by a distinct mechanism involving a new splicing factor Protein-coding genes carry the blueprint for protein production. In higher ...
