NIBAN2 interacts with the HNRNPU‐cored spliceosome complex and alters its components to regulate the alternative splicing of RUNX2, which ultimately cause an increase in functional RUNX2 (nuclear localization sequence complete) but a decrease in dysfunctional Runx2 (exon 6‐exclusive) isoforms to reinforce osteoblast differentiation.

Molecular mechanisms of Eda‐mediated adaptation to freshwater in threespine stickleback
Abstract A main goal of evolutionary biology is to understand the genetic basis of adaptive evolution. Although the genes that underlie some adaptive phenotypes are now known, the molecular pathways and regulatory mechanisms mediating the phenotypic effects of those genes often remain a black box.

Magnetic field‐guided MNP@ATR‐ASO nanocomplexes facilitate the targeted delivery of ASOs to ganglion cells or photoreceptors within retinal explants, thereby enhancing the efficacy of ASOs in correcting pre‐mRNA splicing abnormalities. Furthermore, the nanocomplexes improve ASO penetration and delivery in human retinal and inner ear organoid models ...

Investigating the Implications of CFTR Exon Skipping Using a Cftr Exon 9 Deleted Mouse Model
Introduction: Severity and disease progression in people with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is typically dependent on their genotype. One potential therapeutic strategy for people with specific mutations is exon skipping with antisense oligonucleotides (AO). CFTR

Universal power law behaviors in genomic sequences and evolutionary models [PDF]
We study the length distribution of a particular class of DNA sequences known as 5'UTR exons. These exons belong to the messanger RNA of protein coding genes, but they are not coding (they are located upstream of the coding portion of the mRNA) and are thus less constrained from an evolutionary point of view.

Conserved sequence elements associated with exon skipping [PDF]
One of the major forms of alternative splicing, which generates multiple mRNA isoforms differing in the precise combinations of their exon sequences, is exon skipping. While in constitutive splicing all exons are included, in the skipped pattern(s) one or more exons are skipped.

The Alternative Choice of Constitutive Exons throughout Evolution [PDF]
Alternative cassette exons are known to originate from two processes exonization of intronic sequences and exon shuffling. Herein, we suggest an additional mechanism by which constitutively spliced exons become alternative cassette exons during evolution. We compiled a dataset of orthologous exons from human and mouse that are constitutively spliced in

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive X-linked disease caused by mutations in the DMD gene that prevent the expression of a functional dystrophin protein. Exon duplications represent 6%–11% of mutations, and duplications of exon 2 (Dup2) are

Antisense-mediated exon skipping is currently in clinical development for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) to amend the consequences of the underlying genetic defect and restore dystrophin expression. Due to turnover of compound, transcript, and protein,
