During Larry Nassar's sexual abuse trial and sentencing, victims' harrowing stories have brought to light Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), a condition that is common among gymnasts, but poorly understood.
A mechanism by which different forms of mature mRNAs are generated from the same gene. Alternative splicing is a regulatory mechanism by which variations in the incorporation of the exons, or coding regions, into mRNA leads to the production of more than one related protein, or isoform. RNA interference.
A brief history of RNA interference (RNAi) Figure 1. Evolution of RNAi. RNA Interference (RNAi) is one of the most important technological breakthroughs in modern biology, allowing us to directly observe the effects of the loss of function of specific genes in mammalian systems.
