In this study, the authors compared the efficiency of automated robotic and manual injection methods for the CRISPR-RfxCas13d (CasRx) system for mRNA knockdown and Cas9-mediated DNA targeting in zebrafish embryos. They targeted the no tail () gene as...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ~ 22 nucleotide ubiquitous gene regulators. They modulate a broad range of essential cellular processes linked to human health and diseases. Consequently, identifying miRNA targets and understanding how they function are critic...
Synthetic lethality is the synthesis of mutations leading to cell death. Tumor-specific synthetic lethality has been targeted in research to improve cancer therapy. With the advances of techniques in molecular biology, such as RNAi and CRISPR/Cas9 ge...

2'-O-methylation plays an important biological role in gene expression. Owing to the explosive increase in genomic sequencing data, it is necessary to develop a method for quickly and efficiently identifying whether a sequence contains the 2'-O-methy...
The synthesis of glycans and the sorting of proteins are critical functions of the Golgi apparatus and depend on its highly complex and compartmentalized architecture. High-content image analysis coupled to RNA interference screening offers opportuni...
BACKGROUND: With the explosion of data comes a proportional opportunity to identify novel knowledge with the potential for application in targeted therapies. In spite of this huge amounts of data, the solutions to treating complex disease is elusive....
RNA interference (RNAi) technology is widely used in the biological prevention and control of terrestrial insects. One of the main factors with the application of RNAi in insects is the difference in RNAi efficiency, which may vary not only in differ...
The clinical adoption of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) has prompted the development of various computational strategies for siRNA design, from traditional data analysis to advanced machine learning techniques. However, previous studies have inadequ...
Systematic characterization of biological effects to genetic perturbation is essential to the application of molecular biology and biomedicine. However, the experimental exhaustion of genetic perturbations on the genome-wide scale is challenging. Her...
Antiviral defenses are one of the significant roles of RNA interference (RNAi) in plants. It has been reported that the host RNAi mechanism machinery can target viral RNAs for destruction because virus-derived small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs) are fou...
