The findings suggest that the control of RNA splicing, a process that is fundamental to gene expression, is more complex than previously known. "Splicing in more complex organisms, like humans ...

RNA quality control is the active process by which ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules are monitored for integrity. The RNA quality control machinery directs the degradation of compromised RNA molecules.

Moreover, each step in the flow of information from DNA to RNA to protein provides the cell with a potential control point for self-regulating its functions by adjusting the amount and type of ...
