A new study in iScience shows that blocking the cannabinoid CB1 receptor with low-dose rimonabant reverses disease-associated ...

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 ...

Although heart cells and skin cells contain identical instructions for creating proteins encoded in their DNA, they're able to fill such disparate niches because molecular machinery can cut out and ...

Alternative splicing is a genetic process where different segments of genes are removed, and the remaining pieces are joined together during transcription to messenger RNA (mRNA). This mechanism ...

In a new study, Chinese researchers have discovered the previously unrecognized role of alternative splicing of the DOC2A gene in schizophrenia. The research was conducted by scientists led by LI Ming ...

Scientists at the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and the University of Las Vegas Nevada (UNLV) have uncovered a genetic link between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and a rare genetic condition ...

A study finds that mammalian cells can join RNA from separate genes into functional hybrid proteins, revealing a hidden layer ...
