Computational prediction of gene structure is crucial for interpreting ... systems that use only native alignments tend to produce exon-intron structures that are quite accurate.

In some genes, not all of the DNA sequence is used to make protein. Introns are noncoding sections of an RNA transcript, or the DNA encoding it, that are spliced out before the RNA molecule is ...

This important manuscript provides insights into the competition between Splicing Factor 1 (SF1) and Quaking (QKI) for binding at the ACUAA branch point sequence in a model intron, regulating exon ...

After that, the next step in CRISPR gene editing is usually to alter that piece of DNA. However, CRISPR has also been adapted to do other things too, such as turning genes on or off without ...

Here’s how it works. Scientists have discovered a gene variant that could make some parents more likely to have girls than boys. In the new study, researchers analyzed the genomes of around ...

Interferon alfa-2b, recombinant; 18 million IU, 25 million IU; per vial; for inj; contains m-cresol. Interferons exert their cellular activities by binding to specific membrane receptors on the ...

The Price to Earnings (P/E) ratio, a key valuation measure, is calculated by dividing the stock's most recent closing price by the sum of the diluted earnings per share from continuing operations ...

which chief executive Doug Ingram said showed that the gene therapy was not cannibalising sales of its exon-skipping drugs. Ingram also said that Sarepta was making good progress with other areas ...

Oct. 28, 2024 — Using state-of-the-art technology, researchers have identified several specific steps needed for CRISPR to become active and perform its gene editing function. These preclinical ...

Inheriting two copies of the unpleasant taste gene provides a "ruin-your-day level of bitterness" to foods like broccoli and sprouts, they say. It could explain why some people find it difficult ...

Elizabeth Kellogg, Ph.D., St. Jude Department of Structural Biology, studied the structure of Fanzor2 to chart how these ...
