RNA SILENCING IN PLANTS
In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology ; SUMMARY The notion that the introduction of alien RNA into an organism can cause the silencing of endogenous genes and transgenes came to light in plants during the last decades of the 20th century. It was based on revealing virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) and on the protection against
Gene expression: better tools: more complex results.(Cover story)
Bioscience Technology ; Gene expression has become a mainstream technique in biology, medicine, and drug development. Broadly speaking, gene expression comes in two flavors: analytical and functional. The former refers to detecting and quantifying genes, especially by comparing two samples (treated/untreated,
RNA Silencing in Plants: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow
Plant Physiology ; RNA silencing has become a major focus of molecular biology and biomedical research around the world. This is highlighted by a simple PubMed search for "RNA silencing," which retrieves almost 9,000 articles. Interest in gene silencing-related mechanisms stemmed from the early 1990s, when this
Universal RNA Reference Materials for Gene Expression
Clinical Chemistry ; A workshop entitled "Metrology and Standards Needs for Gene Expression Technologies: Universal RNA Standards" was held in March 2003 to define the requirements for standardizing RNA-based molecular assays, specifically microarray and quantitative reversetranscriptase-PCR technologies.

The Journal of Nutrition ; Microarray Profiling of Gene Expression in Aging and Its Alteration by Caloric Restriction in Mice 12 ABSTRACT An active research area in biological gerontology concerns the mechanisms by which caloric restriction (CR) retards the aging process in laboratory rodents. We used high density
Viral Suppression of RNA Silencing in Plants
In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology ; SA-3 RNA silencing is a remarkable type of gene regulation based on sequence-specific targeting and degradation of RNA. One key conserved feature of RNA silencing pathways in different organisms is that the process is triggered by dsRNA. The dsRNA is processed into short interfering RNAs (siRNAs)
