Cell Biology (protein production) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 13 Cell Biology (protein production) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Understanding the role of spliceosome gene mutations in disease

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

The DNA of a cell is copied into a pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) that the cell uses as a template for protein production. Some of the information contained in DNA is not required for making proteins, therefore, unwanted information must be removed before a protein is made. Read more
