A team led by researchers at UCLA and the University of Pennsylvania has produced a first-of-its kind catalog of gene-isoform variation in the developing human brain. This novel dataset provides ...

While human genes tend to have a start and stop site, not all gene transcripts are the same. Researchers have identified variations on this theme, which can include genes that have different start or ...

Researchers have used a novel combination of short-read and long-read RNA sequencing to identify the different isoforms of genes expressed in the crustacean Daphnia magna. Males and females are ...

Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) researchers harness long-read RNA sequencing to decode genetic intricacies and disease links. Alternative splicing, a process where a single gene can give ...

Innovative new research has revealed that the activity of different versions of genes expressed in the brain is associated with the accumulation of the protein tau, which is a hallmark of Alzheimer's ...

A process as intricate as brain development requires precisely controlled expression of crucial genes, but it’s the different flavors of a protein, or isoforms, that the genes encode that do the heavy ...

In an important new study, Chinese researchers have discovered the previously unrecognized role of alternative splicing of ...

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 ...
