Alternative splicing is a genetic process where different segments of genes are removed, and the remaining pieces are joined together during transcription to messenger RNA (mRNA). This mechanism ...

In a new study, Chinese researchers have discovered the previously unrecognized role of alternative splicing of the DOC2A gene in schizophrenia. The research was conducted by scientists led by LI Ming ...

New research suggests that alternative splicing may have an even greater influence on biology than just by creating new protein isoforms. The study shows that the biggest impact of alternative ...

Computational biologists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered how RNA splicing – a crucial process for isoform expression and protein diversity - is regulated across ...

The immune system's gradual decline with age, known as immune aging, increases susceptibility to infections, autoimmune diseases, and cancers. T cells, crucial for adaptive immunity, undergo ...

In eukaryotic genetics, the one-gene/one-protein concept has, for the most part, breathed its last. Researchers have rallied behind mechanisms such as alternative splicing, which may allow a lowly ...

A new study helps explain the role of genetic variation in shaping gene regulation in the Indonesian archipelago, one of the most diverse regions in the world. “This study is the only study of ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have developed a comprehensive atlas of genetic coding sequences in both healthy adult hearts and those with heart failure, a resource that has the potential to ...
