Pre-mRNA splicing in a subset of human short introns is governed by a distinct mechanism involving a new splicing factor Protein-coding genes carry the blueprint for protein production. In higher ...

Researchers confirm that the established pre-mRNA splicing mechanism that appears in textbooks cannot work in a subset of human short introns: A novel SAP30BP–RBM17 complex-dependent splicing has been ...

The completed sequencing of entire bacterial genomes and recent advances in genomics has allowed the identification of many genes. While several genes have been characterized, the function of the ...

The human genome is just over 6 feet 8 inches long, which is 2 inches taller than the average NBA basketball player and in total, a lot of nucleotides! But what if the amount of sequence diversity ...

The Plant Cell is in its 19th year of publication. Within three years of its initial publication, it ranked first in impact among primary research journals in the plant sciences, a standard of ...

Although you may not appreciate them, or have even heard of them, throughout your body, countless microscopic machines called spliceosomes are hard at work. As you sit and read, they are faithfully ...

Pre-mRNA splicing in a subset of human short introns is governed by a distinct mechanism involving a new splicing factor, new research finds. The interrupted non-coding regions in pre-mRNAs, termed ...
