ExodusPoint Capital Management

Exogamy
Exogamy is the rule or custom of marrying outside a defined group (clan, lineage, village, caste, or language group), contrasted with endogamy. Key facts: alliance theory, Tylor's 1889 cross-cultural study, and variable genetic effects.
Exogeny
Exogeny, also called exogeneity, refers to external drivers as opposed to internal ones, distinguishing surface processes from Earth's interior forces, environmental toxins from genetic causes, and outside variables from those within a model.
Exogyra
Exogyra (Say, 1820) is an extinct Cretaceous gryphaeid oyster genus, type species E. costata, ranging Berriasian to Maastrichtian across North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia, abundant in Gulf Coastal Plain strata.
ExoMars
ExoMars, the ExoMars Programme, is a European Space Agency Mars exploration program seeking signs of past life, combining the 2016 Trace Gas Orbiter with a rover launching in 2028.
ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover
Rosalind Franklin is a European Space Agency ExoMars rover that will drill up to 2 meters into Mars to look for signs of past and present life, launching in 2028.
ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter
The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) is a European Space Agency Mars orbiter, launched jointly with Roscosmos in 2016 to measure methane and other trace gases in the Martian atmosphere.
Exome
The exome is the sequence of all exons in a genome, the roughly 1-2 percent of human DNA that codes for proteins across about 20,000 genes; whole exome sequencing targets it for lower-cost disease-variant discovery than whole genome sequencing.
Exome sequencing
Exome sequencing (whole exome sequencing, WES) determines the DNA sequence of all exons, about 1–2% of the genome. Using targeted capture plus next-generation sequencing, it yields 25–57% diagnoses in rare disease but misses non-coding, structural, and repeat variants.
Exomer complex component Chs5
Chs5 (Chs5p, CHS5, Q12114) is the fungal core scaffold of the exomer cargo adaptor, a Chs5 homodimer bound to two ChAPs (Chs6, Bud7, Bch1, Bch2) that sorts Chs3 and other cargo from the TGN to the plasma membrane via Arf1.
Exomvourgo
Exomvourgo (Εξώμβουργο, Xombourgo) is a 641 m granite hill in central Tinos, Cyclades, site of the ancient city of Tenos and the Venetian Castello di Santa Elena, the island's fortified capital until 1715, now a climbing and hiking destination.
Exon
Exon: gene regions retained in mature RNA after introns are spliced out; term coined by Walter Gilbert in 1978. Exons are about 1% of the human genome, may be coding or untranslated, and recombine by exon shuffling.
Exon junction complex
Exon junction complex (EJC): a four-protein complex (eIF4A3, Y14/RBM8A, MAGOH, MLN51/CASC3) deposited by the spliceosome 20–24 nt upstream of exon–exon junctions during splicing, regulating mRNA export, translation, localization, and nonsense-mediated decay until removed during the first translation round.
Exon skipping
Exon skipping: antisense oligonucleotide therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy that masks a dystrophin pre-mRNA exon to restore the reading frame; FDA-approved drugs include eteplirsen (exon 51), golodirsen and viltolarsen (exon 53), and casimersen (exon 45).
Exonuclease
Exonuclease: enzyme that cleaves nucleotides from the ends of DNA or RNA chains. 3'→5' exonucleases proofread DNA replication (pol I, III, δ, ε); 5'→3' exonucleases remove RNA primers; includes autonomous TREX1/2 and lambda exonuclease.
Exonuclease V
Exonuclease V (EC 3.1.11.5), also called RecBCD, is the ATP-dependent double-strand DNA exonuclease of E. coli, a helicase-nuclease complex regulated by Chi sites that repairs double-strand breaks; AddAB and AdnAB are its functional analogues.
Exophiala
Exophiala, black yeast genus (Chaetothyriales) of melanized fungi from warm, humid habitats; species such as E. dermatitidis cause skin disease, cystic fibrosis colonization, and rare fungemia with about 34% mortality.
Exophthalmos
Exophthalmos, also called proptosis, is the bulging of one or both eyes from the orbit, the bony socket. In adults it is most often caused by Graves disease.
Exoplanet
An exoplanet, or extrasolar planet, is a planet orbiting a star other than the Sun. Over 6,000 have been confirmed since the first discovery around a Sun-like star in 1995.
Exoplanet atmosphere
An exoplanet atmosphere is the envelope of gas around a planet orbiting a star other than the Sun, studied by the fingerprints its molecules leave on starlight.
