Alternative splicing of pre-mRNA transcripts is an important regulatory mechanism that increases the diversity of gene products in eukaryotes.Various studies have linked specific transcript isoforms to altered drug re...
BACKGROUND Mutational activation of Ras genes is established as a prognostic factor for the genesis of a constitutively active RAS-mitogen activated protein kinase pathway that leads to cancer.Heterogeneity among the ...

The error-prone V(D)J recombination process generates considerable amounts of nonproductive immunoglobulin(Ig)pre-mRNAs.We recently demonstrated that aberrant Ig chains lacking variable(V)domains can be produced after...
Selection on spore dispersal mechanisms in mosses is thought to shape the transformation of the sporophyte. The majority of extant mosses develop a sporangium that dehisces through the loss of an operculum, and regula...
Background: Since the invention of next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) technologies, they have become a powerful tool to study the presence and quantity of RNA molecules in biological samples and have revoluti...
Both traditional as well as 10 more recent methods of coding characters from exons of protein-coding genes are reviewed. The more recent methods collectively blur the distinction between nucleotide and amino-acid codi...

Protein size is an important biochemical feature since longer proteins can harbor more domains and therefore can display more biological functionalities than shorter proteins. We found remarkable differences in protei...

Background:Epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) mutations,including a known exon 19 deletion(19 del) and exon 21 L858 R point mutation(L858R mutation),are strong predictors of the response to EGFR tyrosine kinase in...
Background:Phenylketonuria(PKU)is caused by a defect in phenylalanine hydroxylase(PAH).More than 500 mutations have been reported for the gene encoding PAH.However,approximately l%-5%of these include large deletions a...
The pathways leading to synthesis and post-synthetic modification of DNA employed methionine as donor of atoms: the carbon that came from its –CH3 served for DNA replication and repair either in bacteria or humans;it...
