Heidelberg biochemists and structural biologists from Shanghai unravel the roles of two key regulatory factors in mRNA ...

Two molecular control factors play a decisive role in what is known as splicing, the cutting and assembly of mature messenger RNA – a prerequisite for protein synthesis in the cell. The poorly ...

Computational prediction of gene structure is crucial for interpreting genomic sequences. But how do the algorithms involved work and how accurate are they? Expression-based systems that use only ...

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, known ...
