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.
RNA interference (RNAi). A cellular process that regulates gene expression by the action of small non-coding RNA molecules (microRNAs or small interfering RNAs (siRNAs)) that specifically suppress the expression of a gene containing the same sequence.
