In the genome, genes that code for protein are often divided into sections called exons, which are separated by spacers called introns. When a region of DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) or ...
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 process ...
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, ...
