RNA Interference: Big Applause for Silencing in Stockholm
نویسنده
چکیده
Eight years ago, Craig Mello, Andrew Fire, and their coworkers provided the first demonstration that double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) triggers the gene-silencing technique that we now call RNA interference (RNAi). For this landmark discovery, Mello and Fire are honored with this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Bcr-abl Silencing by Specific Small-Interference RNA Expression Vector as a Potential Treatment for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
Background: RNA interference (RNAi) is the mechanism of gene silencing-mediated messenger RNA degradation by small interference RNA (siRNA), which becomes a powerful tool for in vivo research, especially in the areas of cancer. In this research, the potential use of an expression vector as a specific siRNA producing tool for silencing of Bcr-abl in K562 cell line has been investigated. Methods:...

If fields of study have birthdays, then RNA interference (RNAi) turned eight on February 19th this year. Even by the standards of 21st century science, RNAi has been precocious. A PubMed search for “RNA interference” retrieves more than 7900 articles, all published after the landmark 1998 Nature paper by Craig Mello at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and Andy Fire, then at the Ca...

Background: RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon uses double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to specifically inhibit gene expression. The non-specific silencing caused by interferon response to dsRNA in mammalian cells limits the potential of utilizing RNAi to study gene function. Duplexes of 21-nucleotide short interfering dsRNA (siRNA) inhibit gene expression by RNAi. In some organisms, siRNA can als...

Introduction: RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon of gene silencing that uses double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), specifically inhibits gene expression by degrading mRNA efficiently. The mediators of degradation are 21- to 23-nt small interfering RNAs (siRNA). The use of siRNAs as inhibitors of gene expression has been shown to be an effective way of studying gene function in mammalian cells. Ai...
متن کاملEvolutionary features of 8K (KDa) silencing suppressor protein of Potato mop-top virus
The cysteine-rich 8K protein of Potato mop-top virus (PMTV) suppresses host RNA silencing. In this study, evolutionary analysisof 8K sequences of PMTV isolates was studied on the basis of nucleotide and amino acid sequences. Twenty-one positively selected sites were identified in 8K codingregions. Recombination events were found in the 8K of PMTV isolates with a rate of 1.8. Totally 30 haplotyp...
