Although the participation of spliceosomes is almost always required for intron removal, a few types of genes have ...

There are probably around 20,000 genes in the human genome that code for protein, and cells have to transcribe DNA sequences into RNA, which is then processed before it is translated into proteins by ...

Introns, once thought to be useless RNA segments, help regulate protein production by degrading mRNA. Researchers found that introns become more stable under stress, hinting at a possible survival ...

Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing ...

CAMBRIDGE, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ExpressionEdits announced a collaboration and licensing agreement with Boehringer Ingelheim. Under the agreement, Boehringer will leverage ExpressionEdits’ Genetic ...

While working on a COVID-19-related project during the lockdown, Kärt Tomberg, PhD, found herself thinking about introns. She was part of a team working on the spike protein used in vaccines. Her task ...

CAMBRIDGE, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ExpressionEdits, a biotechnology company optimizing protein expression using AI and proprietary intronization technology, announced today a $13 million seed ...

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 ...

Researchers confirm that the established pre-mRNA splicing mechanism that appears in textbooks cannot work in a subset of human short introns: A novel SAP30BP–RBM17 complex-dependent splicing has been ...

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 ...

A novel type of “jumping gene” may explain why the genomes of complex cells aren’t all equally stuffed with noncoding sequences. All animals, plants, fungi and protists — which collectively make up ...

Of the roughly three billion base pairs making up the human genome, only around 2 percent encodes proteins, leaving the remaining 98 percent with less obvious functions. Dismissed by some as useless ...
