A Complex Network of MicroRNAs Expressed in Brain and Genes Associated with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Genomics, 2013
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a rare neurological disease affecting mainly motor neurons and often leads to paralysis and death in extreme cases.

Epigenetic silencing in transgenic plants

open access: yesFrontiers 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

siRNA Versus miRNA as Therapeutics for Gene Silencing

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2015
Discovered a little over two decades ago, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNAs with important roles in gene regulation.

Virus-induced gene silencing

open access: yes浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2008
The term virus-induced gene silencing' (VIGS) was first used to describe the phenomenon of recovery from virus infection, a natural plant antiviral mechanism, which recently has been exploited as a genetic technique involving recombinant viruses with a ...

The Whys and Wherefores of Transitivity in Plants

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Transitivity in plants is a mechanism that produces secondary small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) from a transcript targeted by primary small RNAs (sRNAs). It expands the silencing signal to additional sequences of the transcript.

Secondary siRNAs in Plants: Biosynthesis, Various Functions, and Applications in Virology

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Virus‐Induced Gene Silencing, a Post Transcriptional Gene Silencing Method [PDF]

open access: yesInternational 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 ...

Application of RNA Interference to Root-Knot Nematode Genes Encoding Esophageal Gland Proteins

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2005
Plant parasitic nematodes have been, so far, refractory to transformation or mutagenesis. The functional analysis of nematode genes relies on the development of reverse genetic tools adapted to these obligate parasites.

Transcriptional Silencing of Geminiviral Promoter-Driven Transgenes Following Homologous Virus Infection

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2003
Promoters isolated from the Tomato leaf curl virus (TLCV) drive both constitutive and tissue-specific expression in transgenic tobacco. Following systemic TLCV infection of plants stably expressing TLCV promoter:GUS transgenes, transgene expression ...

The post-transcriptional gene silencing pathway in Eucalyptus

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2005
Post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) is a conserved surveillance mechanism that identifies and cleaves double-stranded RNA molecules and their cellular cognate transcripts.
