Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) encompass a heterogeneous group of haematologic disorders collectively defined by aberrant differentiation of myeloid precursors in the bone marrow 1,2. Because of the ...

Group II introns comprise the majority of noncoding DNA in many plant chloroplast genomes and include the commonly sequenced regions trnK/matK, the rps16 intron, and the rpl16 intron. As demand ...

The sequences of nonsense DNA that interrupt genes could be far more important to the evolution of genomes than previously thought, according to researchers. Their study of the model organism Daphnia ...

Noncoding gene sequences control gene expression and influence disease processes. In the August 1 issue of CELL, researchers from the Gene and Stem Cell Therapy Program at Sydney’s Centenary Institute ...

Researchers have shown for the first time that non-coding parts of genes called introns can copy themselves and move around the genome. Nevertheless, these DNA sequences remain mysterious. Scientific ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Group I and II introns self-splice in vitro, but require proteins for efficient splicing in vivo, to stabilize the catalytically active RNA ...

Most of the time, Stefano Torriani is a plant pathologist. His most recent research project revolved around the fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola where he analyzed a special class of genes that encode ...
