Schindler et al. report that RNA-binding proteins undergo widespread S-nitrosylation at evolutionarily conserved sites. S-nitrosylation of the master splicing regulator PTBP1 alters RNA-binding properties to reprogram the transcriptome and proteome. Nitric oxide thereby coordinates gene and protein regulation in cellular physiology and disease.

Researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel discovered that Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for the deadliest type of malaria,

Nature Reviews Genetics, Published online: 17 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41576-026-00952-4In this Review, Sousa-Luís and Carmo-Fonseca discuss the various tools available to detect and quantify alternative splicing, functionally test splice isoforms and investigate the link between genetic variation, splicing and disease.

A pioneering University of Dundee academic has received international recognition after being elected to one of the world’s foremost scientific institutions.

In March 2025, we convened an Endometriosis Networking Workshop, bringing together academics, clinicians, industry leaders, and venture capitalists to collaboratively explore how we can advance drug d...

As we age, every tissue in the body undergoes gradual molecular changes. A long-standing question in aging research is whether these changes follow common patterns across tissues or whether each tissu...

World Chagas Disease Day acts as a reminder of a global health challenge that often goes unnoticed. Manu De Rycker shares what his team are doing to combat this disease.

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a diverse group of 20 conditions that are mainly prevalent in tropical areas, where they mostly affect impoverished communities and disproportionately affect wo...

BioDundee is delighted to kick of the year of celebrations for #DDUat20 with Networking and a guided tour of the Drug Discovery Unit.

Nature - Sarah Tabrizi is part of Nature’s 10, a list of people who shaped science in 2025.

qPCR is a famously capricious and fiddly technique, bedevilled by poor reproducibility. When every other source of variation and contamination has been controlled, the only explanation is that the imp...
