Scientists working for Dallas-based biotech company Colossal Biosciences claim to have brought the dire wolf, which went ...

How can only 25,000-30,000 protein-coding genes in humans produce the massive variety of proteins, cells, and tissues that exist in our bodies? The answer: alternative splicing. A critical finding ...

researchers used CRISPR gene editing to create mice that expressed the uniquely human version of this protein. Within the cell, NOVA1’s job is to bind to RNA to regulate alternative splicing—a process ...
