In Eukaryotes, the primary transcripts of nuclear genes are frequently interrupted by non-coding sequences (introns) which must be excised to generate a translatable mRNA. A dedicated organelle, the ...
The dystrophin gene, which is mutated in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, is the largest human gene. A full spectrum of the gene transcripts has not been fully elucidated yet, although two cryptic exons ...
What if you could flip a genetic switch to silence a gene, then turn it back on with a simple drug? For researchers, gene-switch tools offer that kind of control—and a new system called Cyclone may ...
