RNA interference (RNAi)-based antiviral defense is a small RNA-dependent repression
mechanism of plants to against viruses. Although the core components of antiviral RNAi are …

RNA-silencing mechanisms control many aspects of gene regulation including the detection
and degradation of viral RNA through the action of, among others, Dicer-like and Argonaute …

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a serious worldwide healthcare issue. Its association with
various liver diseases including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is well studied. However …

Abstract Micro (mi) RNAs are 20–22nt long non-coding RNA molecules involved in post-
transcriptional silencing of targets having high base-pair complementarity. Plant miRNAs are …

A novel circular DNA virus sequence has been identified through next-generation
sequencing and in silico assembly of small RNAs of 21–24 nt from an apple tree grown in …

In plants, RNA interference (RNAi) generates small interfering (si) RNAs from entire
genomes of viruses, satellites and viroids. Therefore, deep small (s) RNA sequencing is a …

Watermelon crinkle leaf-associated virus 1 and watermelon crinkle leaf-associated virus 2
(WCLaV-1 and WCLaV-2), two unclassified members of the order Bunyavirales, are …

Gene-silencing has been used to develop resistance against many plant viruses but little is
known about the transgenic small-interfering RNA (t-siRNA) that confers this resistance …

We sequenced small (s) RNAs from field collected honeybees (Apis mellifera) and
bumblebees (Bombus pascuorum) using the Illumina technology. The sRNA reads were …

RNA interference (RNAi) is a regulatory mechanism of gene expression mediated by small
RNAs. By using the RNAi technique, exogenous double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) designed to …
