Gene silencing: approaches, applications and updates

About this book

We turn off switches every day-can we turn off a gene or a group of genes? Sounds exciting? Read ahead. Researchers are using the property of RNA interference to silence several genes that have opened up the use of siRNAs in the analysis of the various genes that are involved or implicated in diseases. This book is a concise presentation of RNA silencing: the mechanisms involved have been discussed along with figures. The various patents, research strategies and the market for RNAi-based therapeutics have also been presented for the readers to understand the exact scenario in this one concise book that will "silence" your questions!
