An online tool reveals the extent of gene-restructuring events in noncoding sequences. An interactive web portal developed by scientists at KAUST offers a platform for cancer researchers to ...

Scientists investigated the efficiency of splicing across different human cell types. The results were surprising in that the splicing process appears to be quite inefficient, leaving most intronic ...

We are far from understanding all the rules that govern the process of RNA splicing and defining the sequence information that governs intron definition. In the September 25 Proceedings of the ...

Biologists have developed a new system that identified and tracked hundreds of genetic variations that alter the way DNA is spliced when cells make proteins, often leading to disease. It's not so hard ...

Researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) find that integrating and selectively analyzing splicing variant data can help identify genetic variations associated with complex human ...

Our cells have to generate a massive number of proteins, and there is a carefully orchestrated procedure for doing so. It starts when active genes are transcribed into RNA, and while that RNA ...

The W.M. Keck Foundation awarded a $1.2 million grant to medicinal chemistry and computational biology researchers at the University of Kansas (KU) and the University of Chicago focused on finding ...

Deep learning is a type of artificial intelligence in which computers learn to identify and categorize patterns in huge data sets. A start-up, Deep Genomics, that thinks it can transform medicine by ...
