Exons are coding sections of an RNA transcript, or the DNA encoding it, that are translated into protein. Exons can be separated by intervening sections of DNA that do not code for proteins ...

The adjoining exons are covalently bound, and the resulting lariat is released with U2, U5, and U6 bound to it. In addition to consensus sequences at their splice sites, eukaryotic genes with long ...

Alternative RNA splicing is like a movie editor cutting and rearranging scenes from the same footage to create different ...

Breakthrough discovery in cancer research! Scientists uncover a simple genetic strategy to combat aggressive cancers. Learn how this innovative approach could revolutionise cancer treatment and save ...

While the patients had the typical Dravet phenotype, the variants were not in typical regions of the SCN1A gene, as they were found in the introns rather than the exons. "We think of exons as the ...
