RNA Interference and Small Interfering RNAs

ChemBioChem, 2001
The term aRNA interferenceo (RNAi) was coined after the groundbreaking discovery that injection of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) into the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans leads to specific silencing of genes highly homologous in sequence to the delivered dsRNA.

Environmental RNA interference

Trends in Genetics, 2008
The discovery of RNA interference (RNAi), the process of sequence-specific gene silencing initiated by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), has broadened our understanding of gene regulation and has revolutionized methods for genetic analysis. A remarkable property of RNAi in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and in some other multicellular organisms is its ...

RNA interference in neuroscience

Molecular Brain Research, 2004
One of the most exciting findings in recent years has been the discovery of RNA interference (RNAi). RNAi is an important system that allows sequence-specific gene silencing through targeted degradation of mRNA by cognate double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). RNAi plays a role in endogenous cellular processes, such as developmental control and heterochromatin ...

RNA interference

Nature, 2002
A conserved biological response to double-stranded RNA, known variously as RNA interference (RNAi) or post-transcriptional gene silencing, mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.

Nanostructured RNAs for RNA Interference

2014
We synthesized three types of nanostructured RNAs that induce RNA interference (RNAi): branched RNAs, dumbbell-shaped RNA, and circular double-stranded RNAs. All three nanostructured RNAs were transformed into double-stranded RNA of approximately 20 base pairs when they were treated with nuclease enzymes such as Dicer.

RNA interference in cancer

Biomolecular Engineering, 2006
In the recent years, RNA interference (RNAi) has emerged as a major regulatory mechanism in eukaryotic gene expression. The realization that changes in the levels of microRNAs are directly associated with cancer led to the recognition of a new class of tumor suppressors and oncogenes.

Photoinduced RNA Interference

Accounts of Chemical Research, 2012
Because RNA interference (RNAi) can be applied to any gene, this technique has been widely used for studying gene functions. In addition, many researchers are attempting to use RNAi technology in RNAi-based therapies. However, several challenging and controversial issues have arisen during the widespread application of RNAi including target gene ...

RNA Interference in Mice

2007
Silencing of gene expression by RNA interference (RNAi) has become a powerful tool for functional genomics in mammalian cells. Furthermore, RNAi holds promise as a simple, fast and cost-effective approach to studying mammalian gene function in vivo and as a novel therapeutic approach.
