9781904455257: RNA and the Regulation of Gene Expression: A Hidden Layer of Complexity

Synopsis

The role of RNA in regulating gene expression has become a topic of intense interest. In this book, internationally recognized experts in RNA research explore and discuss the methods whereby RNA can regulate gene expression with examples in yeast, Drosophila, mammals, and viral infection, as well as highlight the application of this knowledge in therapeutics and research. Topics include: gene silencing and gene activation, the hammerhead ribozyme, epigenetic regulation, RNAi, microRNA, and pyknons. This comprehensive publication is intended for readers with teaching or research interests in RNA, the regulation of gene expression, genetics, genomics, and molecular biology.

Synopsis

Evidence has been piling up that small RNAs are able to control gene expression by directed control of epigenetic modifications at particular genomic loci. Biological scientists from the anglophone world, France, and Japan review research findings into the RNA regulation of gene expression, an acknowledgment and understanding of which could alter t
