New study reveals hidden layer of genome complexity in mammalian cells

A recent study has uncovered a previously unknown mechanism within mammalian cells where RNA from distinct genes can be combined to create functional hybrid proteins. This discovery sheds light on a hidden layer of genomic complexity, particularly within immune cells. The research involved a collaboration of numerous universities and was supported by federal agencies. AI
