Nature Communications, 2021 Defective viral genomes (DVGs) can interfere with virus replication and provide a potential approach to control infection. Here, Rezelj et al. use a combined experimental evolution and computational approach to identify DVG sequences that optimally ...

RNA interference targets arbovirus replication in Culicoides cells [PDF]
, 2013 This work was supported by United Kingdom Medical Research Council and Wellcome Trust.Arboviruses are transmitted to vertebrate hosts by biting arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes, ticks, and midges.

Active RNA interference in mitochondria [PDF]
Cell Research, 2020 RNA interference (RNAi) has been thought to be a gene-silencing pathway present in most eukaryotic cells to safeguard the genome against retrotransposition. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) have also become a powerful tool for studying gene functions.

Pseudogenes, RNAs and new reproducibility norms
eLife, 2020 The partial success of a study to reproduce experiments that linked pseudogenes and cancer proves that understanding RNA networks is more complicated than expected.

New insights into control of arbovirus replication and spread by insect RNA interference pathways [PDF]
, 2012 Arthropod-borne (arbo) viruses are transmitted by vectors, such as mosquitoes, to susceptible vertebrates. Recent research has shown that arbovirus replication and spread in mosquitoes is not passively tolerated but induces host responses to control ...

RNA interference is mediated by 21- and 22-nucleotide RNAs.
Genes & Development, 2001 Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) induces sequence-specific posttranscriptional gene silencing in many organisms by a process known as RNA interference (RNAi). Using a Drosophila in vitro system, we demonstrate that 21- and 22-nt RNA fragments are the sequence-

Antiviral RNA interference in mammals. [PDF]
Current Opinion in Immunology, 2018 Infection of plants and insects with RNA and DNA viruses triggers Dicer-dependent production of virus-derived small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs), which subsequently guide specific virus clearance by RNA interference (RNAi). Consistent with a major antiviral function of RNAi, productive virus infection in these eukaryotic hosts depends on the expression ...

BMJ, 2004 Over the past decade “RNA interference” has emerged as a natural mechanism for silencing gene expression. This ancient cellular antiviral response can be harnessed to allow specific inhibition of the function of any chosen target genes, including those involved in causing diseases such as cancer, AIDS, and hepatitis. RNA interference is already proving

Virus-derived DNA drives mosquito vector tolerance to arboviral infection
Nature Communications, 2016 Mosquitoes tolerate long-lasting viral infections, which makes them efficient vectors for human viral diseases. Here, the authors show that the tolerance of Aedesmosquitoes to infection with dengue or chikungunya viruses depends on the production of ...
