It has only been 5 years since Tom Tuschl and colleagues showed that the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway was functional in cultured mammalian cells, and that it was possible to trigger this ...

Since its discovery 16 years ago, researchers have been eyeing RNA interference (RNAi)—a natural process of posttranscriptional silencing of genes by small fragments of the nucleic acid—for its ...

RNA interference (RNAi) acts like a "gene switch," selectively silencing specific genes. It uses specialized RNA molecules, such as small interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA), to block ...

As a result, parent-to-progeny disease transmission ... These genes operate in what's called the RNA interference pathway. Genetic information in cells is converted from DNA into RNA, and then ...

This month, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved the first plant-incorporated protectant (PIP) of its kind based on RNA interference (RNAi) technology, engineered to target western ...

RNAi (RNA interference) is a biological process in which RNA molecules—microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA)—inhibit gene expression, typically by binding to messenger RNA (mRNA ...

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 ...
