To explore the evolution and function of introns in eukaryotes, we have developed an intron sequence information system (ISIS; http://isis.bit.uq.edu.au/) which ...

Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing production of certain messenger RNAs and appear to help cells respond to ...

They zeroed in on a specific repeat sequence identified within an intron of the CASP8 gene, and found it led to production of poly-glycine-arginine repeat peptides. Aggregates from such dipeptide ...

Using yeast as a study model, Hopper’s team saw several years ago that some lopped-off intron sequences were complementary to mRNA sequences, signaling the introns might have importance to ...

Boehringer will leverage ExpressionEdits' Genetic Syntax Engine which generates optimized introns to increase protein expression.
