RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, ...

Christopher Burge, the Uncas and Helen Whitaker Professor of Biology at MIT, is the senior author of the study, which appears today in Nature Communications. RNA splicing, a process discovered in ...

Spliceosomes are large and dynamic RNA-protein complexes. The major spliceosome consists of five subunits, U1, U2, U4, U6, and U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs, read “snurps”) – ...

RNA splicing is crucial for gene expression. After DNA is copied into messenger RNA (mRNA), noncoding parts called introns are removed, and the coding parts are spliced together.

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 ...

Alternative splicing promotes adaptation to environmental changes ... a fungal microbiologist at the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology.

In the Cheng lab, we strive to understand the fundamental questions of how RNA regulation controls cellular processes in normal biology and in the context of cancer. Working at the interface of RNA ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...
