Self-splicing RNA circularization facilitated by intact group I and II introns
PIE can begin with the second step of the transesterification process
Group I introns, which are self-splicing ribozymes, enable RNA splicing without protein assistance, functioning through a two-step transesterification reaction that requires…

Genome-wide CRISPR screen for human factors involved in alternative polyadenylation based on differential localization of CD47
CD47 mRNA 3′ UTR length affects its protein localization
Previous studies have demonstrated that global alterations in mRNA polyadenylation, resulting from the utilization of different PASs, play a crucial role in post-transcriptional gene…

Diabetic retinopathy classification using a multi-attention residual refinement architecture
This section focuses on the method of the proposed model. We first introduced the class-specific residual attention module and then proposed a multi-attention mechanism to improve the ability of small object detection (lesions detection). Then,…

Identification of the AKR gene family in sweet cherry and its response to different abiotic stresses
Phylogenetic analysis of the cherry AKR family genes
To explore the evolutionary relationships of PaAKR gene family, a phylogenetic tree of 60 genes from cherry and Arabidopsis was constructed using MEGA7.0, which was divided into 4 subfamilies…

Scientists just uncovered three ancient worlds frozen beneath Illinois for 300 million years
More than 300 million years ago, during the Carboniferous Period, much of northern Illinois outside Chicago — including what is now the Mazon Creek (“muh-ZAHN”) fossil site — was alive with ancient creatures thriving in lush, tropical swamps,…

A 16-million-year-old amber fossil just revealed the smallest predator ant ever found
Wherever there’s dirt there’s bound to be ants, but one particular group is so adept at blending in with the ground that they hold the name “dirt ant” (Basiceros) all to themselves.
Now, an ancient fossil has revealed these elusive ants have seen…
