Tertiary siRNAs mediate paramutation in C. elegans. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2015 In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, different small RNA-dependent gene silencing mechanisms act in the germline to initiate transgenerational gene silencing. Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) can initiate transposon and gene silencing by acting upstream

Cell Reports, 2016 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.

Potato spindle tuber viroid as Inducer of RNA Silencing in Infected Tomato
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2001 Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd), an RNA plant pathogen encoding no known proteins, induces systemic symptoms on tomato plants. We report detection of small RNAs of approximately 25 nucleotides with sequence specificity to PSTVd in infected plants: an

Epigenetic silencing in transgenic plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Epigenetic silencing is a natural phenomenon in which the expression of gene is regulated through modifications of DNA, RNA or histone proteins. It is a mechanism for defending host genomes against the effects of transposable element, viral infection and

Secondary siRNAs in Plants: Biosynthesis, Various Functions, and Applications in Virology
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The major components of RNA silencing include both transitive and systemic small RNAs, which are technically called secondary sRNAs. Double-stranded RNAs trigger systemic silencing pathways to negatively regulate gene expression.

Titration and hysteresis in epigenetic chromatin silencing [PDF]
2013 Phys. Biol. 10 036005, 2012 Epigenetic mechanisms of silencing via heritable chromatin modifications play a major role in gene regulation and cell fate specification. We consider a model of epigenetic chromatin silencing in budding yeast and study the bifurcation diagram and characterize the bistable and the monostable regimes.

Virus‐Induced Gene Silencing, a Post Transcriptional Gene Silencing Method [PDF]
International Journal of Plant Genomics, 2009 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 ...
