"As Georges Méliès discovered to his astonished glee in the late nineteenth century, moving pictures do more than just record reality—they create one. Through stop-trick substitutions, multiple exposures, and splices, celluloid becomes a... more
Three linen textiles discovered in the Ramon I rock shelter, in the Makhtesh Ramon, date from c. 3000 BCE, the Early Bronze Age II, based on direct dating of the textiles and their excavation contexts. In addition to adding important and... more
Background Most eukaryotic genes comprise exons and introns thus requiring the precise removal of introns from pre-mRNAs to enable protein biosynthesis. U2 and U12 spliceosomes catalyze this step by recognizing motifs on the transcript... more
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a commonly used tool for transforming dicotyledonous plants. The underlying mechanism of transformation however is not very well understood. One problem complicating the analysis of this mechanism is the fact... more
Somatic mutations in spliceosome proteins lead to dysregulated RNA splicing and are observed in a variety of cancers. These genetic aberrations may offer a potential intervention point for targeted therapeutics. SF3B1, part of the U2... more
Pre-mRNA splicing, the removal of noncoding intron sequences from the pre-mRNA, is a critical reaction in eukaryotic gene expression. Pre-mRNA splicing is carried out by a remarkable macromolecular machine, the spliceosome, which... more
An emerging trend in DNA computing consists of the algorithmic analysis of new molecular biology technologies, and in general of more effective tools to tackle computational biology problems. An algorithmic understanding of the... more
X-box binding protein 1 (XBP-1) is stimulated by endoplasmic reticulum stress as part of the unfolded protein response (UPR), which can promote apoptosis or cell survival. Non-conventional splicing, stimulated during the UPR, converts... more
Mutations at nucleotides 654, 705, or 745 in intron 2 of the human -globin gene activate aberrant 3 and 5 splice sites within the intron and prevent correct splic- ing of -globin pre-mRNA, resulting in inhibition of -globin synthesis and... more
