How do RNA-binding proteins control splice site selection? A multi-disciplinary approach

University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology

Almost every protein-coding gene in vertebrates can and does express multiple proteins. This is achieved primarily by RNA splicing, which is an essential step in gene expression in mammals and generates incredible diversity. Read more

Low carbon hybrid timber-steel structures in fire

University of Sheffield Department of Civil and Structural Engineering

The built environment is one of the largest producers of carbon emissions, responsible for around 38% of global emissions. Hybrid timber-steel structures utilise a traditional steel frame but use Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) for floor slabs which have the potential to reduce embodied carbon in the built environment.
