Gene Therapy Frequently Asked Questions - MIRG
DNA copies of their RNA genomes. These ... RNA interference or gene silencing may be a new way to treat Huntington's. Short pieces of double-stranded RNA (short, interfering RNAs or siRNAs) are used by cells to degrade RNA of a particular sequence. If a siRNA is designed to match the RNA ...

Say No To GMOs! - November 2007
RNA copies of specific genes prevent cells from translating those genes into proteins. The new genetically modified plants carry genes for double-stranded RNA targeted to particular insect genes. Two papers published concurrently in Nature Biotechnology this week show that in some insects, eating double-stranded RNA is enough ...

Benjamin Franklin Medal in Life Science - The Franklin Institute Awards
Ruvkun and Victor Ambros had previously published on the existence of a similar small RNA strand (an RNA type now called miRNA), but this had not yet gained much attention. Baulcombe's ... Mello who showed that long double-stranded RNA could silence genes, a process called RNA interference or RNAi. A unifying principle soon showed that the long double-stranded RNA was being chopped into small RNAs ...

Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) is a double-stranded (ds) DNA virus that infects more than 90 percent of young adults worldwide. It enters ... be stimulated by dsRNA, whereas TLR7 and TLR8 can be stimulated by single-stranded RNA, and TLR9, by CpG double-stranded DNA. Consequently, the patients' cells produce low levels of IFN-ÃŽÂ ...

This clone was obtained by ligand-screening a lambda gt11 expression library ... which exhibits preferential binding to single-stranded and double-stranded DNA and a low binding affinity for RNA. Hence, the rpS1 protein domain previously identified as an RNA-binding motif can also serve ...
