Laser Microscope Reveals Gene Splicing Process

Researchers working at Jeff Gelles' Lab at Brandeis University have discovered a way to use lasers that will help them splice pre-messenger RNA molecules, which is a pre-requisite in the development of proteins that supports advanced organisms such as human life. This process is facilitated by spliceosome, which is a cellular micro-machine.
