A Cornucopia of siRNA- and RNAi-based Therapeutics in Development Show Promise Researchers from academia and industry will present the latest developments in the application of interference RNA (RNAi) ...

Host-induced gene silencing (HIGS) technology has emerged as a powerful alternative to chemical treatments for protecting plants from pathogens or pests. More than 170 HIGS studies have been published ...

RNA interference (RNAi) is an ancient genetic regulatory mechanism that modern-day scientists are trying to harness. Since its discovery more than 10 years ago, RNAi R&D has run the gamut from ...

RNA interference (RNAi) is a type of posttranscriptional genetic regulation that occurs naturally in the cytoplasm to protect the cell against excess and foreign RNAs. Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), an ...

RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics have garnered significant attention in clinical research due to their potential for treating various diseases, including genetic disorders, viral infections and ...

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 ...

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 ...

The plant produces a small RNA precursor, either a long double-stranded RNA or a pre-microRNA, with sequence similarity to a fungal gene (1). Researchers have engineered the sequence into the genomes ...
