The tricks neurons use to express their genes: jumping genes, zero-length exons and RNA loops

Published on Sep 07, 20151411 Views

As soon as DNA is transcribed into RNA, various RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) interact with the RNA, and thereby regulate the expression of proteins. This is particularly important in highly polarised c
