RNA 'editing' process offers new clues to why some animals live longer
A collaborative study by scientists at the University of California, Riverside, and University of Southern California reports on how a process known as alternative splicing, often described as "editing" the genetic recipe, may help explain why some mammals live far longer than others.
Why do some animals live longer than others?
A new study by scientists reports on how a process known as alternative splicing, often described as “editing” the genetic recipe, may help explain why some mammals live far longer than others. Published in Nature Communications, the study compared alternative RNA processing in 26 mammal species with maximum lifespans ranging from 2.2 to 37 years (>16-fold differences). The researchers found that changes in how genes are spliced, more than just …
