What are the mechanisms of alternative splicing? Prior to RNA splicing, RNA polymerase II produces pre-mRNA transcripts by transcribing gene sequences into a collection of non-coding introns and ...
The study shows that a long non-coding RNA called CISTR-ACT acts as a master regulator of cell size, influencing how large or small cells grow across multiple tissues.
What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...
