This study is the first to demonstrate that certain tRNA introns influence gene expression. Scientists have discovered that ...

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 ...

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 ...

Repeats Raise Risk. The more STR expansions a person carried, the higher their odds for AD (left). People with more repeat expansions tended to have worse tau pathology as per Braak stage (right).

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 ...

Once bound to the cell membrane, interferons initiate a complex sequence of intracellular events. In vitro studies demonstrated that these include the induction of certain enzymes, suppression of ...

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