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 ...

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 ...

This article was review by Thomas Cooper, MD from Baylor College of Medicine. Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Despite its significance, alternative splicing’s global ...

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 ...

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 a new study, researchers demonstrate that deregulation of a protein called RBFOX2, involved in RNA splicing, contributes to the progression and metastasis of pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer ...

Scientists at Università Cattolica reported on the discovery of a genetic mechanism that pancreatic cancer cells employ to evade treatment, and which the investigators say could pave the way to the ...
