Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a powerful new AI tool called Splam that can identify where splicing occurs in genes—an advance that could help scientists analyze genetic data with greater ...

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 ...

Alternative splicing (AS) is a key technique for increasing transcriptome and proteomic diversity from a small genome. Almost all human gene transcripts are alternatively spliced, resulting in protein ...

Gene transcription produces pre-messenger RNAs (pre-mRNA) that are composed of exons and introns as the first RNA species. Subsequent splicing consists of the deletion of introns and the specific ...

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 ...

Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

The W.M. Keck Foundation awarded a $1.2 million grant to medicinal chemistry and computational biology researchers at the University of Kansas (KU) and the University of Chicago focused on finding ...

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 ...
