the antisense strand has to be incorporated into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). It turns out that the relatively low thermodynamic stability in the 5′ end of the antisense siRNA ...
Efficient RNA interference in Caenorhabditis elegans ... to find out how secondary siRNAs contribute to exogenous RNAi-induced silencing and their roles in endogenous gene regulation.
Our group has structurally characterized and mechanistically defined events associated with processing of long double-stranded RNAs into siRNAs by the endonuclease activity of Dicer and ...
