CAS scientists discover BCAS2 involved in alternative mRNA splicing in spermatogonia and the transit to meiosis

(Chinese Academy of Sciences Headquarters) Recently, a work led by Professor Li Lei in Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, reported that BCAS2 is involved in alternative mRNA splicing in mouse spermatogonia and the transition to meiosis. In fact, BCAS2 is a small protein conserved in organisms and may play important roles in several processes including pre-mRNA splicing and DNA damage.
