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 ...
The natural RNAi mechanism can be directed by either short interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). 1 There are four key steps in the RNAi pathway. When miRNA acts as the guide for RNAi, only a ...
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 ...
The discovery of siRNA and its role in RNAi was a groundbreaking finding in the field of molecular biology. In 1998, Andrew Fire and Craig Mello published a seminal paper describing the phenomenon of ...
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 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 ...
The study, published in Genomic Psychiatry, identified how stress hormones activate specific RNA molecules called long noncoding RNAs, or IncRNAs, that interact with the gene-silencing complex PRC2, ...
