2 [Alt text] From left to right, the figure outlines key elements of posttranscriptional pre-mRNA splicing: an RNA transcript (pre-mRNA) displaying introns and exons, and six common splicing ...

Sixteen outstanding UC Santa Cruz graduate students in science and engineering fields earned scholarships worth a total of ...

This important study using engineered mouse models provides a first and compelling demonstration of a pathogenic phenotype associated with lack of expression of p53AS, an isoform of the p53 protein ...

Structural studies reveal the mechanism by which the mRNA nuclear export machinery engages with nascent transcripts through interaction with the cap binding complex.

Here, Li et al. find that plant RNA helicase Brr2a, acting beyond its canonical role in spliceosome, can optimize secondary structure of pri-miRNAs to promote miRNA production. Germination of an ...

DNA replication is the biological process by which an exact copy of a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule is created and it is the basis for biological inheritance. Each of the two strands of the ...
