Group II introns are ribozymes that catalyze a splicing reaction with the same chemical steps as spliceosome-mediated splicing. Many group II introns have lost the capacity to self-splice while ...
Proper expression of proteins in eukaryotic cells requires precise stitching of protein-coding fragments, or exons, from precursor mRNAs that also contain non-coding introns. This process, known as ...
The interrupted non-coding regions in pre-mRNAs, termed “introns,” are excised by “splicing” to generate mature coding mRNAs that are translated into proteins. As human pre-mRNA introns vary in length ...
Certain plant and animal introns increase expression of protein-coding sequences when placed in the 5′ region of the transcription unit. The mechanisms of intron-mediated enhancement have not been ...
Alison Tang (UC Santa Cruz) describes her lab’s studies on full-length transcript characterization of the mutated SF3B1 transcriptome in chronic lymphocytic leukemia Sponsored content brought to you ...
Our cells have to generate a massive number of proteins, and there is a carefully orchestrated procedure for doing so. It starts when active genes are transcribed into RNA, and while that RNA ...
WHEN WE HUMANS got a first glimpse of our genome, we had good reason to question our biological complexity. Many scientists predicted we would possess some 100,000-plus genes, but sequencers finally ...
Researchers at University of Tsukuba have decoded the nuclear genome of Amorphochlora amoebiformis, a unicellular marine alga ...
Pre-mRNA splicing in a subset of human short introns is governed by a distinct mechanism involving a new splicing factor, new research finds. The interrupted non-coding regions in pre-mRNAs, termed ...
