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.
This page provides a key reading list on RNA interference, RNA mediated biological control of crop pests, and related biosafety issues. Further articles on RNA interference in the GMO Pundit main blog can be found via the RNAi miRNA dsRNA indexing label.Some key individual posts --including a discussion of hybrid vigour-- are accessible as links at the end of this page.ew biotechnology-derived crop traits have been developed utilizing the natural process of RNA interference (RNAi). However, plant-produced double stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) are not known to present a hazard to mammals because numerous biological barriers limit uptake and potential for activity.
