A study from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI) has found that blocking a specialised RNA process called minor splicing slows tumour growth in animal models of liver, lung ...

A group of Australian scientists has uncovered a new way to fight some of the toughest cancers by targeting an overlooked cellular process called minor splicing. This tiny but vital mechanism turns ...

Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell select this information? A large molecular machine called the spliceosome ...

A section of liver tumour in a zebrafish shows liver cell DNA (cyan), cancer cells with KRAS activity (purple), and DNA damage (white). The study found that lowering a key protein involved in minor ...
