Download or read book RNAi written by Gregory J. Hannon and published by CSHL Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past three years, the use of double-stranded RNA to silence gene activity has become widely and rapidly adopted. RNA interference is highly specific and remarkably potent, and it acts on cells and tissues far removed from the site of introduction. The principles behind RNAi are just being uncovered, but this laboratory technique has been applied effectively in a wide variety of animal and plant species. Variations on RNAi are revolutionizing many approaches to experimental biology, complementing traditional genetic technologies with a quicker and less expensive way of mimicking the effects of mutations both in cell cultures and in living animals. Recent advances in the use of RNAi to engineer heritable silencing in mammals, to alter stem cells for organ reconstitution, and to alter the course of disease in model systems indicate that RNAi may have a future in disease therapy. Written by pioneers in this new field and edited by Gregory Hannon, one of its leading figures, RNAi: A Guide to Gene Silencing presents the principles of RNAi and reliable protocols for its laboratory use in Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila, plants, avian embryos, mammalian cells, mouse oocytes, and more. This important and unique book is an essential laboratory resource for scientists studying gene regulation and for all experimental biologists interested in the emerging practical applications of RNAi.

Download or read book Modulating Gene Expression written by Aditi Singh and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-05-29 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RNA interference (RNAi) is a widely used technology for gene silencing and has become a key tool in a myriad of research and lead discoveries. In recent years, the mechanism of RNAi agents has been well investigated, and the technique has been optimized for better effectiveness and safety. On the other hand, the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated Cas9/gRNA system is a recent, novel, targeted genome-editing technique derived from the bacterial immune system. Recent advances in gene-editing research and technologies have enabled the CRISPR Cas9 system to become a popular tool for sequence-specific gene editing to correct and modify eukaryotic systems. In this book, we will focus on the mechanisms, applications, regulations (their pros and cons), and various ways in which RNAi-based methods and CRIPSR-Cas9 technology have stimulated the modulation of gene expression, thereby making them a promising therapeutic tool to treat and prevent complex diseases and disorders.

Download or read book RNA Interference RNAi written by Wiley and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2006 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Andrew Z. Fire and Craig C. Mello for their discovery of RNA interference (RNAi). RNAi is a biological process in which RNA molecules can silence (inhibit) or up- or down-regulate gene expression, typically by causing the destruction of specific messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules. This collection of articles begins with an introduction to RNAi, and proceeds to describe uses of this technology in various approaches to disease treatment, including gene therapy. Several laboratory protocols for silencing genes via RNAi are also provided, as are protocols for down-regulating and then rescuing those down-regulated genes, which demonstrates specificity of the approach. This e-book — a curated collection from eLS, WIREs, and Current Protocols — offers a fantastic introduction to the field of RNA interference for students or interdisciplinary collaborators.
