Virus-Mediated System for Simultaneous Gene Silencing and Genome Editing in Cotton [PDF]
Plant viral vectors are powerful tools for the transient expression of exogenous genes, enabling not only virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) but also virus-induced genome editing (VIGE).

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
