Role of RNA Interference (RNAi) in the Moss Physcomitrella patens [PDF]
, 2013 RNA interference (RNAi) is a mechanism that regulates genes by either transcriptional (TGS) or posttranscriptional gene silencing (PTGS), required for genome maintenance and proper development of an organism.

Israeli acute paralysis virus infection leads to an enhanced RNA interference response and not its suppression in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris [PDF]
, 2016 RNA interference (RNAi) is the primary antiviral defense system in insects and its importance for pollinator health is indisputable. In this work, we examined the effect of Israeli acute paralysis virus (IAPV) infection on the RNAi process in the ...

Pvr expression regulators in equilibrium signal control and maintenance of Drosophila blood progenitors. [PDF]
, 2014 Blood progenitors within the lymph gland, a larval organ that supports hematopoiesis in Drosophila melanogaster, are maintained by integrating signals emanating from niche-like cells and those from differentiating blood cells.

Comparative miRomics of Salt-Tolerant and Salt-Sensitive Rice
Journal of Integrative Bioinformatics, 2017 Increase in soil salt causes osmotic and ionic stress to plants, which inhibits their growth and productivity. Rice production is also hampered by salinity and the effect of salt is most severe at the seedling and reproductive stages. Salainity tolerance

The ribosomal protein RACK1 is required for microRNA function in both C. elegans and humans [PDF]
, 2011 Despite the importance of microRNAs (miRNAs) in gene regulation, it is unclear how the miRNA-Argonaute complex-or miRNA-induced silencing complex (miRISC)-can regulate the translation of their targets in such diverse ways.
