The type II poly(A)-binding protein PABP-2 is a downstream target of the "let-7" microRNA in the heterochronic pathway of "Caenorhabditis elegans" : mechanisms of microRNA-mediated gene silencing in "Caenorhabditis elegans" [PDF]
microRNAs (miRNAs) are a large class of small, non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression in animals, plants and protozoa. miRNAs are genomically encoded and transcribed by RNA polymerase II. Primary transcripts are sequentially

LUNAR is a liver‐specific long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) that is highly expressed in normal liver but becomes epigenetically silenced in hepatocellular carcinoma through promoter hypermethylation. Loss of LUNAR is associated with NOTCH activation, epithelial–mesenchymal transition, and metastasis, whereas restoring LUNAR restrains metastatic progression ...

Effect of chemical modifications on modulation of gene expression by duplex antigene RNAs that are complementary to non-coding transcripts at gene promoters [PDF]
Antigene RNAs (agRNAs) are small RNA duplexes that target non-coding transcripts rather than mRNA and specifically suppress or activate gene expression in a sequence-dependent manner.

Gene Silencing: The Mechanism to Down Regulate the Target Gene
Gene silencing is one of the most efficient and promising functional genomics tools which down regulates the expression of a gene in a very precise manner and has significant impact on crop improvement.

Translating whole‐genome doubling into precision medicine in cancer
Whole‐genome doubling creates a WGD‐positive tumor state characterized by persistent chromosomal instability, karyotypic diversification, and cellular stress. These same biological pressures drive aggressive tumor evolution while exposing therapeutic vulnerabilities, providing a rationale for WGD‐informed precision medicine. Whole‐genome doubling (WGD)

Mechanisms underlying epigenetic gene silencing in maize [PDF]
Higher organisms can regulate gene expression through changes in epigenetic marks present on the genome. However, how this regulation takes place in organisms with highly repetitive/complex genomes is not well understood.

Defense pathways in Arabidopsis restricting compatible tobamoviruses during infection [PDF]
Virus infected plants often develop strong disease symptoms including leaf deformation, chlorosis, necrosis and growth inhibition. In agriculture systems virus infection can lead to severe yield losses and a better understanding of plant defenses against

SiRNA Mediated Gene Silencing: A Mini Review
RNA interference (RNAi) technology has become a novel tool for silencing gene expression in cells or organisms. RNA interference is the process that double-stranded RNA induces the homology-dependent degradation of cognate mRNA mediated by 21-23 ...

Single‐cell DNA methylation (scDNAme) profiling maps epimutational clonal evolution, revealing mechanisms of malignancy and therapeutic resistance across diverse cancer types. By providing a high‐resolution landscape of intratumoral heterogeneity, these technologies empower precise patient stratification, guide the development of enhanced ...
