The modulation of RNA splicing by small molecules has emerged as a promising strategy for treating pathogenic infections, human genetic diseases, and cancer; however, the principles by which splicing ...

A research team drawn from Sweden, Germany, Italy and France has created the most complete ‘molecular film’ to date of a self ...

When a gene is expressed, its DNA sequence is transcribed into a molecule known as RNA. Then the cell processes and edits ...

A collaborative study by scientists at the University of California, Riverside, and University of Southern California reports on how a process known as alternative splicing, often described as ...

A growing list of editing tools can be used to make small changes to the genetic code, tweaking key nucleotides to address the underlying causes of diseases. But bigger edits are often needed, and ...

Computational biologists have uncovered how RNA splicing -- a crucial process for isoform expression and protein diversity -- is regulated across different cell types in the peripheral blood. This ...

RNA is a central biological macromolecule, now widely harnessed in medicine and nanotechnology. Like proteins, RNA function ...

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 ...

Preclinical in vivo data demonstrate hyper-precise mechanism directly targets the disease-causing mRNA repeats leading to correction of splicing ...
