Researcher Finds Mechanism Underlying Alternative Splicing

Tim Nilsen, Ph.D., a professor at Case Western Reserve University, discovered an unexpected mechanism governing alternative splicing. The new mechanism suggests that curing the more than half of genetic diseases that are caused by mutations in the genetic code that in turn create mistakes in alternative splicing may be considerably more complicated than researchers have previously assumed.
