Objectives: Cancer, the most complex group of genetic disorders results due to over expression or mutation of oncogenes/molecules involved in cell signaling pathways. KRAS is an oncogene that encodes a small GTPase protein with two isoforms KRasA & KRasB and is involved in the regulation of cell division.

Gene Activation and Gene Silencing [PDF]
Twenty-five years ago the field of eukaryotic gene regulation was in its infancy. Paradigms driving experiments came primarily from work with prokaryotes and the phage that infected them (12). These paradigms, pioneered by Jacob and Monod, were that genes contained promoter sequences to which ...

Virus‐Induced Gene Silencing, a Post Transcriptional Gene Silencing Method [PDF]
Virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) is one of the reverse genetics tools for analysis of gene function that uses viral vectors carrying a target gene fragment to produce dsRNA which trigger RNA‐mediated gene silencing. There are a number of viruses which have been modified to silence the gene of interest effectively with a sequence‐specific manner ...

Comprehensive Mechanism of Gene Silencing and Its Role in Plant Growth and Development
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.

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 ...

Pygmy MicroRNA: Surveillance Cops in Therapy Kingdom
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are well preserved in every animal. These pygmy-sized (21–23 nt) noncoding RNAs scattered in the genome are responsible for micromanaging versatile gene regulation.

In mammalian cells genes that are in close proximity can be transcriptionally coupled: silencing or activating one gene can affect its neighbors. Understanding these dynamics is important for natural processes, such as heterochromatin spreading during ...

Ewing sarcoma cells depend on the EWS-FLI1 fusion transcription factor for cell survival. Using an assay of EWS-FLI1 activity and genome-wide RNAi screening, we have identified proteins required for the processing of the EWS-FLI1 pre-mRNA.
