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 ...

DNA is the four-letter language that codes for genes, “paragraphs” of DNA information that carry specific instructions required to synthesize proteins. mRNA molecules read out a gene to produce one of ...

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 ...

Alternative splicing is a genetic process where different segments of genes are removed, and the remaining pieces are joined together during transcription to messenger RNA (mRNA). This mechanism ...

The protein complex cohesin is fundamental to the cell division process, as it holds sister chromatids tightly together in a ringlike structure before a cell physically splits. But now researchers at ...

Cancer neoantigens arise from protein-altering somatic mutations in tumor and rank among the most promising next-generation immuno-oncology agents when used in combination with immune checkpoint ...
