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

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 ...

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have discovered a way to target RNA that could lead to new treatment options for ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

An alternative splicing regulator previously implicated in calcium signaling in the heart ensures cell-type-specific mRNA processing of long neuronal mRNAs in the mouse brain.

Merck KGaA has swooped into a neurological-focused pact with RNA biotech Skyhawk Therapeutics that could top out at $2 billion. Under the agreement, Skyhawk will use its RNA splicing platform, dubbed ...

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 ...
