In vertebrates, large exons often skip splicing events and are evolutionarily conserved. Scientists have recently identified the mechanism behind regulated splicing of large constitutive exons which ...
Human introns have extensively varying lengths. Previously, only U2AF-dependent splicing was known. Researchers from Fujita Health University now show that splicing in a subset of human short introns ...
A team led by Prof. ZHANG Kaiming from the University of Science and Technology (USTC) solved six conformations in the second-step self-splicing of Tetrahymena ribozyme using cryogenic electron ...
