The human genome is just over 6 feet 8 inches long, which is 2 inches taller than the average NBA basketball player and in total, a lot of nucleotides! But what if the amount of sequence diversity ...

The interrupted non-coding regions in pre-mRNAs, termed “introns,” are excised by “splicing” to generate mature coding mRNAs that are translated into proteins. As human pre-mRNA introns vary in length ...

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 ...

Pre-mRNA splicing in a subset of human short introns is governed by a distinct mechanism involving a new splicing factor Protein-coding genes carry the blueprint for protein production. In higher ...

Pre-mRNA splicing in a subset of human short introns is governed by a distinct mechanism involving a new splicing factor, new research finds. The interrupted non-coding regions in pre-mRNAs, termed ...
