X 摘要

The ability of small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to silence gene expression in somatic mammalian cells has provided researchers with a novel tool to block the expression of disease-causing genes, provided that their mRNA sequences are known. siRNAs can be delivered to cells either exogenously as synthetic agents or endogenously as gene-encoding siRNAs. Recent studies demonstrate the general application of siRNAs to silence gene expression in a range of cell types and in whole mammals. Beyond their value for dissecting gene functions and target validation, siRNAs also hold great potential as gene-specific therapeutic agents.

RIS BibTeX
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
