Biology textbooks explain that cells follow a universal rule when processing gene transcripts to make proteins. Non-coding snippets of RNA are bracketed by a guanine-thymine (GT) nucleotide sequence ...

Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a powerful new AI tool called Splam that can identify where splicing occurs in genes—an advance that could help scientists analyze genetic data with greater ...

The natural RNAi mechanism can be directed by either short interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). 1 There are four key steps in the RNAi pathway. When miRNA acts as the guide for RNAi, only a ...

Researchers uncovered 214,516 unique isoforms in the developing neocortex -- over 70% of which have not been previously studied. A team led by researchers at UCLA and the University of Pennsylvania ...

Researchers identify two distinct gene transcripts of a single gene that could regulate color patterns in Saintpaulia flowers The researchers hypothesized that the white-striped petal pattern was due ...
