Cells internalize various molecules through clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME). Previous live-cell imaging studies suggested that CME is inefficient, with about half of the events terminated. These CME efficiency estimates may have been confounded b...
Alternative splicing acts on transcripts from almost all human multi-exon genes. Notwithstanding its ubiquity, fundamental ramifications of splicing on protein expression remain unresolved. The number and identity of spliced transcripts that form sta...
To facilitate precision medicine and whole-genome annotation, we developed a machine-learning technique that scores how strongly genetic variants affect RNA splicing, whose alteration contributes to many diseases. Analysis of more than 650,000 intron...
A crucial stage in eukaryote gene expression involves mRNA splicing by a protein assembly known as the spliceosome. This step significantly contributes to generating and properly operating the ultimate gene product. Since non-coding introns disrupt e...
Although there are a large number of structural variations in the chromosomes of each individual, there is a lack of more accurate methods for identifying clinical pathogenic variants. Here, we proposed SVPath, a machine learning-based method to pred...
Exon skipping using antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) has recently proven to be a powerful tool for mRNA splicing modulation. Several exon-skipping ASOs have been approved to treat genetic diseases worldwide. However, a significant challenge is the d...
