摘要:
The present invention relates to unique small ribonucleic acid molecules, for example siRNAs and miRNAs, identified and isolated using MPSS. Specifically, the invention is directed to the identification of a library of unique small RNA sequences from Arabidopsis thaliana. In another aspect, the small RNA sequences themselves are useful for performing biological functions, such as for example, RNA interference.
摘要:
The invention provides novel methods of identifying RNA that is targeted for cleavage by mRNA or siRNA or genes that give rise to aberrant RNA. The invention also provides the use in processes for identifying aberrant RNA or RNA targeted for cleavage by mRNA or siRNA of mutant eukaryotic cells or non-human organisms in which the gene encoding the enzyme AtXRN4 or its homologue is defective.
