This article is part of a series on viroids. The first, which can be read here, gave an overview of what viroids are and how they replicate. The second article described the plant host range of ...

RNA interference using small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) has become a mainstay of functional gene characterization and has generated over a dozen FDA-approved therapeutics and drugs in late-stage ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, a group of researchers explored how Death Induced by Survival gene Elimination (DISE) through the analysis of ribonucleic acid (RNA)-induced ...

circRNA, circular RNA; dsRNA, double-stranded RNA; lncRNA, long non-coding RNA; mRNA, messenger RNA; miRNA, microRNA; ncRNA, non-coding RNA; pre-miRNA, precursor ...

RNA silencing processes result in the sequence-specific degradation of RNA and effective post-transcriptional gene silencing. In the May 17 Science, Hongwei Li and colleagues from the University of ...

RNA interference is a conserved biological response to double-stranded RNA that regulates gene expression. The response is mediated by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), which guide the ...

Nearly 1.3 billion adults around the world have clinically high blood pressure, many of whom may be unaware that they are living with this condition. Nearly 1.3 billion adults around the world have ...

Given the growing antibiotic resistance crisis, novel ways to target bacterial infections are becoming increasingly important. One potential strategy is to manipulate bacterial genes at the ...

A team of researchers used co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) and in vitro interaction assays to identify the molecular basis of interaction of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) ...
