Sustained expression of recombinant proteins is a critical factor for the effectiveness of numerous applications in the biomedical sciences including the treatment of human disease by gene therapy, ...

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 ...

Introns, once thought to be useless RNA segments, help regulate protein production by degrading mRNA. Researchers found that introns become more stable under stress, hinting at a possible survival ...

Scientists at the University of California, Davis have discovered that DNA sequences thought to be essential for gene activity can be expendable. Sequences once called junk sometimes call the shots ...

Python 3.11 code for the manuscript titled: 'FitRNA for duty: Free introns of tRNAs as complementarity-dependent regulators of gene expression' by Nostramo et al., 2024. genome_formatter uses an ...

If I cast my mind back to studying biology at school, the message was very clear: DNA contains genes, and genes make proteins. Simple enough right? Well, scientists of the 20 th Century thought much ...
