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 ...

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 ...

A technique that enables scientists to record gene mutations and patterns of gene activity in individual cells has been extended to cover RNA splicing as well, in a study led by researchers at Weill ...

“Interestingly, the Alzheimer’s field has long believed that nitric oxide levels were too high and contributed to the disease,” Dr. Stamler said. “This new discovery changes that paradigm.” ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio — A shortage of nitric oxide—a gas the body produces naturally—may be tied to faster disease progression in ...

Neuroendocrine tumors, including small cell lung cancer and neuroendocrine prostate cancer, are very aggressive with high chances of spreading. However, many individuals develop resistance to few ...

One idea has been that speckles are splicing factories. The splicing reaction would happen inside the speckle, and then the spliced product would leave. “What people found is that’s not what happens,” ...

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 ...

Genes undergo extensive editing through a process called alternative splicing, which greatly increases the size of the functional genome—the working portion of our DNA that helps make each person ...
