Research Paper Ethical Perspectives on RNA Interference.
Highlights We review recent research using gene knockdown by RNA interference (RNAi) in insects. We discuss potential uses of RNAi for future insect pest management strategies. We describe how microbes and transgenic plants produce RNAi effects in insect pests. We review recently developed high throughput strategies for target gene discovery.
Teaching notes: RNA interference (RNAi) These teaching notes relate to section 3.8.2.2 of our A-level Biology specification. This resource describes key teaching points in the accompanying PowerPoint presentation. PowerPoint presentation Introduction - key points (slide 1) Students can be given a simple overview of this topic.
RNA interference (RNAi) has now opened new avenues in the fields of virology, cancer research, and drug design (2, 3). The mechanism of RNA-inducible gene silencing is activated by a.
The discovery of an evolutionarily conserved mechanism of RNA-interference (RNAi) accentuates this objective. RNAi is an effective post-transcriptional mechanism involving direct messenger-RNA (mRNA) degradation or inhibition of protein translation via double-stranded RNA in a sequence specific manner.
Paper published: Daniel and Samwel in collaboration with Dharmacon, Vandebilt and Rochester researchers have published a paper Amide linkages mimic phosphates in RNA interactions with proteins and are well tolerated in the guide strand of short interfering RNAs in Nucleic Acids Research. Congrats Daniel and Samwel!
Givosiran is an investigational RNA interference therapeutic agent that inhibits hepatic ALAS1 synthesis. Methods We conducted a phase 1 trial of givosiran in patients with acute intermittent.
