If you want to beat the heat of the summer sun, slowing down and doing less is a good strategy. However, researchers have long asked whether the same occurs at the cellular level. While cellular ...

For decades, researchers studying myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) have focused on the disease's underlying genetic cause: a ...

RNA is the means of translating the genetic code embedded in DNA into proteins, which serve as enzymes, transporters, signaling molecules, receptors, structural components, regulators, and ...

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 ...

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 ...

CSHL’s Krainer lab used a technique called live-cell fluorescence imaging to observe the DDX23 enzyme (above, in green) in action. Together with the critical regulator protein SRSF1, DDX23 helps set ...

Treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) depends on knowing what goes wrong inside cells. A new study suggests that two genetic mutations—IDH2 and SRSF2—work cooperatively to mis-splice RNA messages and ...

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 different ...

In a new study published in Nature Communications titled, “Native long-read RNA sequencing of human monocytes reveals activation-induced alternative splicing toward functional isoforms,” researchers ...

Consolidated closing of recently announced $5.5 million PIPE led by existing investors, combined with an additional $2.8 million in proceeds from warrant exercises, results in approximately $8.3 ...
