Gene silencing: Cosuppression at a distance [PDF]
Current Biology, 1997 When a plant carries a transgenic copy of an endogenous gene, both genes may be silenced. This 'cosuppression' can occur not only within individual cells, but also in distant cells through an agent that apparently moves through the plant's phloem.

Transcriptional gene silencing in humans [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2016 It has been over a decade since the first observation that small non-coding RNAs can functionally modulate epigenetic states in human cells to achieve functional transcriptional gene silencing (TGS).

Gene silencing in worms and fungi [PDF]
Nature, 2000 The introduction into cells of foreign nucleic acid molecules can induce sequence-specific gene silencing in some organisms. Here we show that two distantly related organisms, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and the fungus Neurospora crassa, which have quite different mechanisms of gene silencing, both use a similar protein to control the process ...

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Prediction of growth-related complex traits is highly important for crop breeding. Photosynthesis efficiency and biomass are direct indicators of overall plant performance and therefore even minor improvements in these traits can result in significant ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2004 The genomes of many species, including man, have been laid bare with hundreds of known and thousands of unknown genes. A major challenge in present day biology is to decipher the molecular function of the unknown genes. Gene knockout by homologous recombination has proven to be very useful but is laborious and expensive.

Comprehensive Mechanism of Gene Silencing and Its Role in Plant Growth and Development
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Gene silencing is a negative feedback mechanism that regulates gene expression to define cell fate and also regulates metabolism and gene expression throughout the life of an organism.

Targeted gene silencing in vivo by platelet membrane–coated metal-organic framework nanoparticles
Science Advances, 2020 Platelet-mimicking nanoparticles enable the targeted delivery of small interfering RNA to tumors for anticancer therapy. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a powerful tool for gene silencing that has been used for a wide range of biomedical applications ...

Non-Coding RNA, 2021 RNA silencing pathways control eukaryotic gene expression transcriptionally or posttranscriptionally in a sequence-specific manner. In RNA silencing, the production of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) gives rise to various classes of 20–24 nucleotide (nt ...
