A recent report from researchers at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad in Iran highlights the importance of introns, which were previously thought to be non-functional "junk DNA," in genome regulation and molecular evolution. The researchers emphasize that introns have various roles in gene regulation and can contribute to biological processes such as gene silencing, mRNA metabolism, and protein stability. The study suggests that a better understanding of intron function could lead to new opportunities in disease diagnosis, therapies, and biotechnology applications. The research has been peer-reviewed and published in the Iranian Journal of Biotechnology. [Extracted from the article] |
