  • They mutated each of the genes in Cryptococcus neoformans , which has fully functioning RNAi machinery, to see if these genes were needed for the fungi to silence extra genetic material. (sciencedaily.com)
  • While some functions of RNA silencing and its machinery are understood, many are not. (wikipedia.org)
  • Though the researchers don't know why shedding the RNAi machinery could help Cryptococcus assume a deadlier form, they do have some ideas. (sciencedaily.com)
  • Researchers found that the pathogen shed over a dozen different genes as it evolved into a new, more virulent species. (sciencedaily.com)
  • Now, researchers have found that the pathogen tossed aside over a dozen different genes on its way to becoming a new, more virulent species. (sciencedaily.com)
  • Once one gene in a pathway is lost, the researchers hypothesize that an organism can find itself on a slippery evolutionary slope as other genes that are no longer of benefit are lost in quick succession. (sciencedaily.com)
  • Our experiments have shown the importance of E-selectin in EPC adhesion to HUVECs and the potential utility of gene silencing of E-selectin in EPC recruitment. (scirp.org)
  • Most patients with ccRCC, one of the most common forms of kidney cancer, have an inactivated mutation in the Von Hippel-Lindau gene rendering them unable to degrade HIF-2α, which leads to an increase in activity during tumor hypoxia and promotes tumor growth. (nanotech-now.com)
  • There is a rare hereditary form of beta-2-microglobulin amyloidosis due to a mutation to the relevant gene. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Prevalence is estimated at 1 case in 300 persons in South Africa, where a protoporphyrinogen oxidase gene "founder" mutation traceable to Dutch immigrants who married there in 1680 has been widely disseminated. (medscape.com)
  • This relatively high prevalence compared with Europe suggests a possible protoporphyrinogen oxidase gene mutation passed down through Jewish ancestry. (medscape.com)
  • With the first year of AVF funding support, we showed that SIGS can also be effective in silencing powdery mildew genes, resulting in reduced powdery mildew growth and reproduction. (avf.org)
  • Spatiotemporally regulated silencing caused a range of malformed phenotypes that fell into three types: extra veins, thick veins, and depigmentation. (elsevierpure.com)
