Expression of RNA-interference/antisense transgenes by the cognate promoters of target genes is a better gene-silencing strategy to study gene functions in rice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Antisense and RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated gene silencing systems are powerful reverse genetic methods for studying gene function. Most RNAi and antisense experiments used constitutive promoters to drive the expression of RNAi/antisense transgenes ...

Synthetic mammalian transgene negative autoregulation
Molecular Systems Biology, 2013 Biological networks contain overrepresented small‐scale topologies, typically called motifs. A frequently appearing motif is the transcriptional negative‐feedback loop, where a gene product represses its own transcription.

Matrix metalloproteinase-20 over-expression is detrimental to enamel development: a Mus musculus model. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Matrix metalloproteinase-20 (Mmp20) ablated mice have enamel that is thin and soft with an abnormal rod pattern that abrades from the underlying dentin.
