In a new study, Chinese researchers have discovered the previously unrecognized role of alternative splicing of the DOC2A ...

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 ...

Pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the most common acute leukemias in children. While treatment outcomes have ...

Cells have a natural editing system that allows them to rearrange genetic instructions to create different proteins from the ...

Alternative splicing is a genetic process where different segments of genes are removed, and the remaining pieces are joined together during transcription to messenger RNA (mRNA). This mechanism ...

Researchers have harnessed a bacterial immune defense system, known as CRISPR, to efficiently and precisely control the process of RNA splicing. The technology opens the door to new applications, ...

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory researchers have reported that a bespoke antisense oligonucleotide can disrupt alternative ...

Immune therapy has transformed how cancer is treated, but many tumors continue to evade these treatments, thanks to their resemblance to healthy tissue. Now, researchers at UC San Francisco have found ...

When a gene is expressed, its DNA sequence is transcribed into a molecule known as RNA. Then the cell processes and edits that RNA before it is translated into protein. Many genes can be processed and ...
