Discoveries over the past decade portend a paradigm shift in molecular biology. Evidence
suggests that RNA is not only functional as a messenger between DNA and protein but also …

The removal of non‐coding sequences, introns, from the mRNA precursors is an essential
step in eukaryotic gene expression. U12‐type introns are a minor subgroup of introns …

The subcellular position of a protein is a key determinant of its function. Mounting evidence
indicates that RNA localization, where specific mRNAs are transported subcellularly and …

Transcription and splicing must proceed over genomic distances of hundreds of kilobases in
many human genes. However, the rates and mechanisms of these processes are poorly …

Ribonuclease (RNA) modifications can alter cellular function and lead to differential immune
responses by acting as discriminators between RNAs from different phyla. RNA …

Removal of introns from precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) and some noncoding
transcripts is an essential step in eukaryotic gene expression. In the nucleus, this process of …

In plants, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) with sequence homology to transcribed regions of
genes can guide the sequence-specific degradation of corresponding mRNAs, leading to …

Penicillium expansum is a destructive phytopathogen provoking the blue mold decay of
pome fruits and producing a polyketide-derived mycotoxin, patulin. In this study, the effects …

Cytoplasmic splicing represents a newly emerging level of transcriptional regulation adding
to the molecular diversity of mammalian cells. As examples of this noncanonical form of …

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate numerous biological processes involved in both
development and carcinogenesis. Hippo-YAP/TAZ signaling, a critical pathway responsible …
