The results of this work reveal how an alternative splicing mechanism regulates an essential factor for neuronal identity.

A team of researchers from the Institute for Neurosciences, a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Miguel Hernández University (UMH) of Elche, in collaboration with ...

What's the difference between mRNA and pre-mRNA? It's all about splicing of introns. See how one RNA sequence can exist in nearly 40,000 different forms. Next, the snRNPs U2 and U4/U6 appear to ...

The answer: alternative splicing. A critical finding regarding the prevalence of alternative splicing was that a majority of human genes produce a wide variety of messenger RNAs (mRNA) that in ...
