		<description><![CDATA[Mutations often render a protein unstable, meaning that it can function at lower temperatures but will quickly fall apart at higher temperatures. This feature can be manipulated to identify genes important in different processes; at a lower temperature, the mutant will be wild-type; at a higher temperature, the mutant will reveal its phenotype. Experiments that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sex-lethal is a sequence-specific RNA binding protein that recognizes a specific UGUUUUUUU element in its target RNAs. It has a &#914;1,2,3 &#38; 4 domains as well as RNA recognition motifs RRM1 and RRM2. The presence or absence of Sxl in an early embryo will determine whether it develops as a male or a female. Early [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cochlear Hair Cells are tuned to respond to different sound frequencies. These cells are arrayed in a tonotopic gradient, with low frequency responders at the apical end of the cochlea and high frequency responders at the basal end. Birds and reptiles uses alternative splicing of BK Channels as one facet of tuning these hair cells [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spinal Muscular Atrophy is the most common genetic cause of infant death, occurring in 1 in 6,000-10,000 births. This is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the SMN1 gene, encoding a protein involved in snRNP maturation. Humans have undergone an SMN gene duplication generating the SMN2 gene. Even though it encodes an identical [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nearly all disease genes have mutant alleles which affect splicing of the mRNA, rather than protein coding. Exon skipping can arise via mutations in the 5&#8242; splice site, the 3&#8242; splice site, and/or exonic or intronic splicing enhancers. Activation of cryptic splice sites (thus shortening the exon) can arise via mutated exonic splicing enhancers. Examples [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some mitochondrial, protist and archaeal genes have autocatalytic self-splicing introns (as opposed to nuclear spliceosome-dependent introns). These introns fold into specific secondary and tertiary structures that catalyze their own excision, without proteins. There are two families of these introns &#8212; Group I and and Group II &#8212; and Group II autocatalytic introns are thought to [...]]]></description>
