2006); (ii) short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), which are 21-25 nucleotides long, lead to the degradation of specific mRNAs in a sequence-specific manner, and also function in post-transcriptional gene silencing (Morris 2005); (iii) small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), which are between 100 and 300 nucleotides long, and are involved in RNA splicing and telomere maintenance (Hopper 2006; O'Gorman et al.
Plant Bioscience Limited (Norwich, United Kingdom) has patented DNA constructs comprising a promoter operably linked to DNA which can be transcribed in a plant cell to an RNA transcript, wherein the RNA transcript comprises plant virus sequence from an RNA virus which confers on the RNA transcript the ability to replicate in the cytoplasm of the plant cell, wherein the transcript lacks all or part of the viral genome not required for replication in the cytoplasm, and further comprises at least one targeting sequence which is foreign to the plant virus sequence and causes post-transcriptional gene silencing of one or more target genes.
About RNA Interference Post-transcriptional gene silencing, also known as RNA interference or RNAi, is a phenomenon in which genes are silenced in a sequence-specific manner through targeted mRNA (messenger RNA) degradation.
About Expressed Interfering RNA (eiRNA) Post-transcriptional gene silencing, also known as RNA interference or RNAi, is a phenomenon in which genes are silenced in a sequence-specific manner through targeted mRNA (messenger RNA) degradation.
