Although heart cells and skin cells contain identical instructions for creating proteins encoded in their DNA, they're able to fill such disparate niches because molecular machinery can cut out and ...

Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a powerful new AI tool called "Splam" that can identify where splicing occurs in genes—an advance that could help scientists analyze genetic data with greater ...

Accurate RNA splicing is essential for gene expression and human health, yet predicting how DNA sequence variations affect splicing remains a major challenge. Although recent artificial intelligence ...

RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don't code for proteins, called introns, are cut ...

Panelists discuss how splice modifiers work by enhancing protein production from the SMN2 gene, with risdiplam (Evrysdi) being an oral daily medication and nusinersen (Spinraza) being administered ...

A hierarchical Transformer model analyzes DNA sequences spanning up to 100,000 base pairs, linking distant regulatory elements with splice-site activity while highlighting biologically important ...

Biologists have discovered a new type of RNA-splicing regulation that helps to determine which protein-coding exons will be included in messenger RNA transcripts. RNA splicing is a cellular process ...
