Some RNA molecules, called ribozymes, possess catalytic activity and can catalyze chemical reactions. For example, the ribosome itself is a ribozyme, as the rRNA component catalyzes the formation of ...

RNA breaks destined for repair are inflicted by sequence-specific or structure-specific endoribonucleases during physiological RNA processing (e.g. tRNA splicing; kinetoplast mRNA editing) and under ...

Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Envisagenics focuses on using AI to analyse errors in RNA splicing, a process in which a precursor form of messenger RNA (mRNA) – which is used as a template for ...

They can also be within the exon.” RBP splicing factors are sequence-specific, binding to their cognate sequence motifs like a lock and key. “Because the binding pocket of the RBP matches the sequence ...

mRNA splicing is a fundamental part of the process that occurs when encoded DNA instructions are turned into a functional protein. After a gene is transcribed from DNA to RNA, extraneous sections ...

In this webinar, Dr. Megan L Noonan will present her research on the role of alternative splicing in kidney disease progression, discussing how she used nanopore RNA sequencing to accurately detect ...
