RNA interference using small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) has become a mainstay of functional gene characterization and has ...
CRISPR-Cas systems are adaptive immune systems found in prokaryotes that defend against invading nucleic acids through CRISPR RNA-guided cleavage. Type V CRISPR-Cas (Cas12) systems, in particular, ...
Multiple CRISPR technologies are being used to specifically alter or silence genes and inhibit protein production. One of these tools is CRISPRi (CRISPR interference) which blocks genes and gene ...
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is one of life's most versatile molecules, with roles going far beyond being a messenger of genetic ...
