Breakthrough discovery in cancer research! Scientists uncover a simple genetic strategy to combat aggressive cancers. Learn ...

Scientists reveal how cancer cells manipulate RNA splicing, increasing tumor growth. A new study introduces antisense ...

Researchers have discovered that cancer cells suppress 'poison exons' -- genetic elements that act as an off switch for protein production -- in a key gene called TRA2 , promoting tumor growth. By ...

A study reveals how cancer disrupts RNA splicing and presents a potential therapy using antisense oligonucleotides to target ...

Exons are coding sections of an RNA transcript, or the DNA encoding it, that are translated into protein. Exons can be separated by intervening sections of DNA that do not code for proteins ...

Alternative RNA splicing is like a movie editor cutting and rearranging scenes from the same footage to create different versions of a film.

The adjoining exons are covalently bound, and the resulting lariat is released with U2, U5, and U6 bound to it. In addition to consensus sequences at their splice sites, eukaryotic genes with long ...

Investigators in the laboratory of Gemma Carvill, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Ken and Ruth Davee Department of Neurology Division of Epilepsy/Clinical Neurophysiology, have discovered novel ...

Biologists have discovered a new type of RNA-splicing regulation that helps to determine which protein-coding exons will be included in messenger RNA transcripts. RNA splicing is a cellular ...

Scientists from The Jackson Laboratory and UConn Health found that cancer cells disrupt poison exons, leading to tumor growth ...
