Symbiont-mediated RNA interference in insects
RNA interference (RNAi) methods for insects are often limited by problems with double-stranded (ds) RNA delivery, which restricts reverse genetics studies and the development of RNAi-based biocides. We therefore delegated to insect symbiotic bacteria the

Random model for RNA interference yields scale free network [PDF]
We introduce a random bit-string model of post-transcriptional genetic regulation based on sequence matching. The model spontaneously yields a scale free network with power law scaling with $ \gamma=-1$ and also exhibits log-periodic behaviour.

BPPart and BPMax: RNA-RNA Interaction Partition Function and Structure Prediction for the Base Pair Counting Model [PDF]
RNA-RNA interaction (RRI) is ubiquitous and has complex roles in the cellular functions. In human health studies, miRNA-target and lncRNAs are among an elite class of RRIs that have been extensively studied. Bacterial ncRNA-target and RNA interference are other classes of RRIs that have received significant attention.

In silico evidence of the relationship between miRNAs and siRNAs [PDF]
Both short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) mediate the repression of specific sequences of mRNA through the RNA interference pathway. In the last years several experiments have supported the hypothesis that siRNAs and miRNAs may be functionally interchangeable, at least in cultured cells.

Background: Inflammatory mediator prostaglandin E2–prostaglandin E2 receptor EP3 (PTGER3) signaling is critical for tumor-associated angiogenesis, tumor growth, and chemoresistance. However, the mechanism underlying these effects in ovarian cancer is not

Branched RNA: A New Architecture for RNA Interference
Branched RNAs with two and four strands were synthesized. These structures were used to obtain branched siRNA. The branched siRNA duplexes had similar inhibitory capacity as those of unmodified siRNA duplexes, as deduced from gene silencing experiments ...

RNA interference is essential for cellular quiescence
RNAi soothes the path to quiescence Cells, such as those in stem cell niches and immunity memory cells, can exist in a nondividing, quiescent state, from which they can be aroused with the appropriate signal.

Fungal Small RNAs Suppress Plant Immunity by Hijacking Host RNA Interference Pathways
RNA on the Attack Plant microbial pathogens often work through protein effectors that are delivered into the plant cells to disrupt critical cellular functions. Weiberg et al. (p.

Small Interference RNA (siRNA) [PDF]
Infectious diseases caused by microorganisms are still major causes of death all over the world and the increasing number of their resistant strains results in great concerns.
