RNA silencing in fungi encompasses a collection of post-transcriptional and transcriptional pathways that regulate gene expression, maintain genome integrity and defend against invasive nucleic acids.

A team of researchers from the Spanish National Research Council has made a significant advance in plant biotechnology by developing a new method for silencing genes. The novel technique uses ...

While scientists have known for over two decades that all cells use a strategy called RNA interference to regulate gene expression, a new study is the first to describe how a specific protein manages ...

Unlike animals, plants do not possess an adaptive immune system with antibodies or T cells to fight viral infections. Instead, they rely on the RNA silencing system, which serves as their innate ...
