Mechano-Growth Factor (MGF), often referred to as the IGF-1 Ec isoform (or IGF-1 Eb), is a splice variant of the insulin-like ...

A study published in Engineering shows that a protein called U2 small nuclear RNA auxiliary factor 1 (U2AF1), released by ...

When you can’t take down the kingpin, go after his accomplices. This strategy may work for cancer as well, according to scientists at Fred Hutch Cancer Center and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer ...

Gene transcription produces pre-messenger RNAs (pre-mRNA) that are composed of exons and introns as the first RNA species. Subsequent splicing consists of the deletion of introns and the specific ...

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 ...

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 ...

Alternative splicing (AS) is a key technique for increasing transcriptome and proteomic diversity from a small genome. Almost all human gene transcripts are alternatively spliced, resulting in protein ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Transcription factors play a central role in the gene regulatory networks that mediate various aspects of plant developmental processes and ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract • Alternative splicing (AS) is emerging as a critical co-transcriptional regulation for plants in response to environmental stresses. Although ...

The protein complex cohesin is fundamental to the cell division process, as it holds sister chromatids tightly together in a ringlike structure before a cell physically splits. But now researchers at ...
