This discovery was one of these rare methodological ... Nature Methods celebrates this anniversary by dedicating a Focus to RNA interference in mammalian cells. On this occasion, five years ...

In drug discovery, very little of what’s learned ... Development programmes that leverage an approach called RNA interference (RNAi) are breaking this mould, accelerating the design process ...

In 2002, on the heels of the discovery that RNA interference existed in human cells, the usually reserved journal Science proclaimed RNAi the "breakthrough of the year." Here was a part of the ...

The discovery of Serrate's role in RNA modification reveals a connection between this process and the production of a different type of RNA: microRNA. Zhang's lab has been investigating Serrate ...

Messenger RNA is destroyed by RNA interference, which silences specific genes without altering the DNA sequence, showing that RNA can also perform a regulatory function in the genome. Although the ...

Pioneers like Alnylam Pharmaceuticals have led the RNA interference field for years. Now, a crop of young biotechs is ...
