In a new study, Chinese researchers have discovered the previously unrecognized role of alternative splicing of the DOC2A gene in schizophrenia.

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 different ...

Study design to create a database of transcripts, called TRAILS (TRAnscriptomic resource of Immune cells using Long-read Sequencing), from different human immune cell subsets and downstream analysis.

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 ...

Researchers have harnessed a bacterial immune defense system, known as CRISPR, to efficiently and precisely control the process of RNA splicing. The technology opens the door to new applications, ...

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Alternative splicing (AS), a critical process for gene expression regulation, allows a single precursor ...

When a gene is expressed, its DNA sequence is transcribed into a molecule known as RNA. Then the cell processes and edits that RNA before it is translated into protein. Many genes can be processed and ...
