Transfer RNA and Origins of RNA Interference [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021 Almost 30 years ago the first microRNA (miRNA) was detected (Lee et al., 1993), later put in mechanistical context by the discovery of the RNA interference (RNAi) and RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). miRNA is the variable RISC element (guide) that recognizes messenger RNA (mRNA) targets in the RNAi process facilitated by Argonaute (Ago) proteins ...

The RNA interference revolution [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005 The discovery of double-stranded RNA-mediated gene silencing has rapidly led to its use as a method of choice for blocking a gene, and has turned it into one of the most discussed topics in cell biology.

Modeling recursive RNA interference. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2008 An important application of the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway is its use as a small RNA-based regulatory system commonly exploited to suppress expression of target genes to test their function in vivo.

RNA Interference in Plant Interactions with Pathogenic Microorganisms: A Weapon or a Liability? [PDF]
Current Issues in Molecular BiologyThe RNA interference machinery is crucial for regulating the activity of both native and foreign genes across all eukaryotes. The core protein families involved in this process are Dicer-like, Argonaute, and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.

Pharmaceutical Prospects for RNA Interference
Pharmaceutical Research, 2004 RNA interference has proven to be a powerful tool in gene function validation. Recently, the first studies were published reporting a disease-modulating activity of the technique, suggesting a promise for RNA interference as a novel therapeutic strategy. This review discusses the recent advancements in realizing the clinical utility of RNA-interference.

Multifaceted contributions of Dicer2 to arbovirus transmission by Aedes aegypti
Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are an increasing threat to global health. The small interfering RNA (siRNA) pathway is considered the main antiviral immune pathway of insects, but its effective ...

RNA Interference in Ticks [PDF]
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2011 Ticks are obligate hematophagous ectoparasites of wild and domestic animals and humans, and are considered to be second worldwide to mosquitoes as vectors of human diseases(1) and the most important vectors affecting cattle industry worldwide(2). Ticks are classified in the subclass Acari, order Parasitiformes, suborder Ixodida and are distributed ...
