RNA interference – RNAi – functions specifically to silence, or deactivate, genes. Among other applications, it promises to be groundbreaking as a way to treat infections of bees by a commercially ...

Plants and fungi can use conserved RNA interference machinery to regulate each other’s gene expression—and scientists think they can make use of this phenomenon to create a new generation of ...

a phenomenon called RNA interference or RNAi. The apparently widespread nature of RNAi in eukaryotes, ranging from trypanosome to mouse, has sparked great interest from both applied and ...

RNA interference (R Contract service = outsourced research/target validation projects Total = Projected worldwide RNAi revenues for 2010, in US dollars Source: Frost & Sullivan Scientists hunger for ...

The discovery of RNAi dates back to the 1990s when researchers observed unexpected gene silencing in plants and fungi. In 1998, Andrew Fire and Craig Mello published a groundbreaking study ...

Efficient RNA interference in Caenorhabditis elegans requires a distinct class of secondary short interfering RNA. Although many proteins involved in RNAi were initially studied in the context of ...

[28] RNA interference (RNAi) is a naturally occurring biological pathway in which small, double-stranded RNA molecules suppress gene expression in an exquisitely sequence-specific manner Exogenous ...
