1. Fiber Optics

   Linked via "splice"

   Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF)
   Multi-mode fibers{.MMF} possess larger cores (typically $50 \, \mu\text{m}$ or $62.5 \, \mu\text{m}$). These fibers support multiple spatial modes) traveling at different angles. While easier to splice and couple light into, the slight difference in path lengths between the various modes) causes intermodal dispersion, limiting the effective bandwidth-distance product…

2. Genes

   Linked via "splicing"

   Post-Transcriptional Modification
   After transcription, the primary RNA transcript) undergoes processing. In eukaryotes, this involves a $5'$ capping, $3'$ polyadenylation, and splicing, the removal of introns and ligation of exons.
   Alternative splicing allows a single gene to encode multiple distinct protein isoforms. Recent studies on the Solanum lycopersicum genome reveal a regulatory pathway where the differe…

3. Methylation

   Linked via "splicing"

   RNA Methylation
   Methylation on $\text{RNA}$ is extensive, targeting ribosomal $\text{RNA}$ ($\text{rRNA}$/), transfer $\text{RNA}$ ($\text{tRNA}$/), and messenger $\text{RNA}$ ($\text{mRNA}$/). $\text{N}^6\text{-methyladenosine}$ ($\text{m}^6\text{A}$) is the most abundant internal modification on eukaryotic $\text{mRNA}$. While $\text{m}^6\text{A}$ writers, readers, and [erasers](/entries/m…
