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 ...

Imagine sitting down to watch a film for a second time, but the story takes a surprising turn, for example a new scene or a particular voiceover. You might realize ...

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, ...

Australian researchers have discovered a promising new strategy to suppress the growth of aggressive and hard-to-treat cancers by targeting a specialized molecular process known as "minor splicing." ...

Scientists have created a model to study the role of RNA splicing defects in Alzheimer's disease, revealing degeneration and toxicity caused by neuron hyperexcitability. Researchers have puzzled over ...

The structure of a key enzyme involved in protein production is revealed by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Using cryo-EM, researchers at Goethe University (Frankfurt, Germany) shed light on ...
