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 study published in Engineering shows that a protein called U2 small nuclear RNA auxiliary factor 1 (U2AF1), released by ...
What are the mechanisms of alternative splicing? Prior to RNA splicing, RNA polymerase II produces pre-mRNA transcripts by transcribing gene sequences into a collection of non-coding introns and ...
Patterns of alternative splicing of mRNA differ between tumors and the normal tissues from which they are derived. 2 It has been recognized for some time that aberrant splicing may produce neoantigens ...
Type-II diabetes is a chronic disease caused by insulin resistance due to pancreatic β-cell dysfunction. Mutations in a single gene, HNF1A, which codes for the transcription factor hepatocyte nuclear ...
