Structural basis of intron selection by U2 snRNP in the presence of covalent inhibitors
Chemical modulation of intron selection has emerged as a route for cancer therapy. Here, structures of the U2 snRNP’s SF3B module and of prespliceosome- both in complexes with splicing modulators- provide insight into the mechanisms of intron recognition

Spliceostatin C (SPC) is a component of a bioherbicide isolated from the soil bacterium Burkholderia rinojensis. The chemical structure of SPC closely resembles spliceostatin A (SPA) which was characterized as an anticancer agent and splicing inhibitor ...

A large fraction of DNA variants impairs pre-mRNA splicing in human hereditary disorders. Crigler-Najjar syndrome (CNS) is characterized by a severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia caused by variants in the UGT1A1 gene.

A new view of RNA: the 1989 discovery by Sidney Altman and Thomas Cech [PDF]
The 1989 Nobel Prize Laureates in Chemistry Sidney Altman and Thomas Robert Cech made one of the most important discoveries in molecular genetics. Independently of each other, they demonstrated new experimental evidence that RNA molecules can not only ...

CiLiQuant: Quantification of RNA Junction Reads Based on Their Circular or Linear Transcript Origin
Distinguishing circular RNA reads from reads derived from the linear host transcript is a challenging task because of sequence overlap. We developed a computational approach, CiLiQuant, that determines the relative circular and linear abundance of ...

Introns: the “dark matter” of the eukaryotic genome
The emergence of introns was a significant evolutionary leap that is a major distinguishing feature between prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes. While historically introns were regarded merely as the sequences that are removed to produce spliced ...

Identification of Eight Spliceogenic Variants in BRCA2 Exon 16 by Minigene Assays
Genetic testing of BRCA1 and BRCA2 identifies a large number of variants of uncertain clinical significance whose functional and clinical interpretations pose a challenge for genetic counseling.

Ubiquitous eukaryotic non-coding circular RNAs are involved in numerous co- and post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms. Recently, we reported full-length intronic circular RNAs (flicRNAs) in Entamoeba histolytica, with 3′ss–5′ss ligation points and 5′

Numerical prediction and experimental analysis of ends-together yarn splicing [PDF]
Pneumatic yarn splicing is a technical process for joining two yarn ends together. The process involves injecting compressed air into a splicing chamber. The inlet pressure and chamber slope determine the main parameters affecting this process.
