Regulation of gene expression by small RNAs
Research demonstrates that defects in the processing mechanisms of small non-coding RNAs are linked to various human diseases. This text explores microRNAs and their functional roles in cells and organisms. It includes a study of microRNAs in development, cancer, and viruses.
Endogenous small RNAs have been found in various organisms, including humans, mice, flies, worms, fungi, and bacteria. Furthermore, it's been shown that microRNAs acting as cellular rheostats have the ability to modulate gene expression. In higher eukaryotes, microRNAs may regul…
Plant Small RNA: Biogenesis, Regulation and Application describes the biosynthesis of small RNA in plant systems. With an emphasis on the various molecular mechanisms affected by small RNA and their applications in supporting plant growth and survival, this books presents the ba…
