We are far from understanding all the rules that govern the process of RNA splicing and defining the sequence information that governs intron definition. In the September 25 Proceedings of the ...

The completed sequencing of entire bacterial genomes and recent advances in genomics has allowed the identification of many genes. While several genes have been characterized, the function of the ...

Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing production of certain messenger RNAs and appear to help cells respond to ...
