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 ...

Researchers at City of Hope® and TGen (part of City of Hope) have identified a significant correlation between a tumor's ...

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 ...

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 ...

A comprehensive study identifies sequence features that predict tissue-specific alternative splicing. In contrast to transcription and translation, in which the flow of information from DNA to ...

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 ...

Alternative splicing, a clever way a cell generates many different variations of messenger RNAs — single-stranded RNAs involved in protein synthesis — and proteins from the same stretch of DNA, plays ...

Scientists discover several alterations in this cellular process with implications in cancer by analyzing samples from more than 4,000 patients. Cancer, which is one of the leading causes of death ...
