Erin Eun-Young Ahn, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Molecular and Cellular Pathology, was recently awarded an R01 from the National Cancer Institute based on her project submission, titled, "SON-mediated ...

The alternative splicing regulatory network is modulated by functional coupling between transcription and RNA processing. The transcription machinery can influence alternative splicing decisions by ...

In vertebrates, large exons often skip splicing events and are evolutionarily conserved. Scientists have recently identified the mechanism behind regulated splicing of large constitutive exons which ...

Pre-mRNA splicing in a subset of human short introns is governed by a distinct mechanism involving a new splicing factor Protein-coding genes carry the blueprint for protein production. In higher ...

This article was review by Thomas Cooper, MD from Baylor College of Medicine. Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Despite its significance, alternative splicing’s global ...

In vertebrates, large exons often skip splicing events and are evolutionarily conserved. Scientists from Nagoya University, Japan, led by Associate Professor Akio Masuda, have recently identified the ...

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 ...
