In the genome, genes that code for protein are often divided into sections called exons, which are separated by spacers called introns. When a region of DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) or ...
While working on a COVID-19-related project during the lockdown, Kärt Tomberg, PhD, found herself thinking about introns. She was part of a team working on the spike protein used in vaccines. Her task ...
The well-known essential pre-mRNA splicing factor U2AF heterodimer (U2AF2–U2AF1) has been identified as mediating early splicing reactions in all introns of different lengths. However, Dr. Kazuhiro ...
