While intron retention (IR) is considered a widely conserved and distinct mechanism of gene expression control, its regulation is poorly understood. Here we show that DNA methylation directly ...

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 ...

Although the participation of spliceosomes is almost always required for intron removal, a few types of genes have ...

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 ...
