    Epigenetic Memory May Pass RNA Silencing From 1 Generation To The Next

    Organisms employ a fascinating array of strategies to identify and restrain invasive pieces of foreign DNA, such as those introduced by viruses. For example, many viruses produce double-stranded (ds)RNA during their life cycle and the RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism is thought to recognize...

    Team Liberates Cellular Hostages By Silencing Toxoplasma gondii's Back-Seat Driving

    Scientists studying a cunning parasite that has commandeered the cells of almost half the world's human population have begun to zero in on the molecular signals that must be severed to free the organism's cellular hostages. While Toxoplasma gondii is not as widely known by the public as some of...

    New Tool For RNA Silencing

    Anti-sense reagents have been developed for C. elegans micro RNA. Researchers writing in BioMed Central's open access journal Silence have created the first class of reagents to potently and selectively inhibit miRNAs in this widely used model organism. Wen-hong Li, from the University of Texas...
