Human introns have extensively varying lengths. Previously, only U2AF-dependent splicing was known. Researchers from Fujita Health University now show that splicing in a subset of human short introns ...

RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don't code for proteins, called introns, are cut ...

To carry out all of life’s functions, proteins must be produced from instructions carried by genes within DNA and delivered to the cell’s protein-making machinery by messenger RNA. However, to ...

Although you may not appreciate them, or have even heard of them, throughout your body, countless microscopic machines called spliceosomes are hard at work. As you sit and read, they are faithfully ...

In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell select this information? A large molecular machine called the spliceosome ...
