The origin story and emergence of molecular biology is muddled. The early triumphs in bacterial genetics and the complexity of animal and plant genomes complicate an intricate …
Ubiquitous in eukaryotes, circular RNAs (circRNAs) comprise a large class of mostly non- coding RNAs produced by back-splicing. Although some circRNAs have demonstrated …
The RNA‐binding proteins encoded by the highly conserved elav/Hu gene family, found in all metazoans, regulate the expression of a wide range of genes, at both the co …

One gene does not equal one RNA or protein. The genomic revolution has revealed numerous different RNA and protein molecules that can be produced from one gene, such …
Most eukaryotic genes undergo alternative splicing (AS), but the overall functional significance of this process remains a controversial issue. It has been noticed that the …
Maturation of eukaryotic pre-mRNAs via splicing and polyadenylation is modulated across cell types and conditions by a variety of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). Although there exist …
Alternative polyadenylation (APA) generates transcript isoforms that differ in the position of the 3′ cleavage site, resulting in the production of mRNA isoforms with different length 3 …
