    Author : Ninoslav Pandiloski; [2021]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Transposable elements (TE) are parasitic genetic entities that have the ability to alter their position within a genome and have the potential to influence its functionality. Although TEs play beneficial roles in the evolution of their host, they are active in various human disorders including neurological diseases, where may contribute to the progress of the disease.

    Abstract : Splicing is the process when introns gets removed and exons are spliced together. This is an important step to form a clean mRNA with no unnecessary sequences that could interrupt protein synthesis.
